I see a lot of top and bottom posting going on. It makes it very hard to read with all the scrolling up and down. First to see what the question was and then back to the answer.
Would it be wise to recommend bottom posting?
The best is actually selective posting, where you cut out the stuff that you are not replying to and reply directly below the paragraph you are responding to. Alse remove all old signatures, etc. The general idea is to keep the mail clean and as short as possible. This makes it easier to read and lighter on the different mail servers that your mail goes through. Keep in mind that the one little mail you are sending to a mailing list gest sent to thousands of mail servers all over the world and it takes up resources and bandwidth and disk space on people's machines. If you think about it, it makes sense. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
