I suspect I know what is going on regarding "top posting". I use Lotus Notes (not by choice) and sometimes MS-Outlook (oops). They do the "top posting" and don't know how to change it (I will investigate).

Regarding the ^M, it is again a Windows based editor (comes by default in Lotus Notes) and you are looking at the cariage return for ascii under Windows. I don't know what you use for editor but if it was emacs, it will correct the ^M with blanks.
I use vi, and also see is in slrn.
I, myself, and I might be alone, find it much easier to read messages at the top than to fish responses in the body of the E-mail.
This has already been been discussed. The thing is people will want to read some of these emails in 6 months and then they have NO idea who replied to what.
However, I will also investigate how I can change the default in "lotus notes" so it does it the way you are asking for. My apologies. (this e-mail I had to cook so it would meet your requirements, I hope).
This has been extremely clear and easy to read for all. Thanks for taking your time to correct it. houghi -- A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.
