Top posting means adding your reply text at the top of the message. It's a matter of style, and various mail and news programs have used different styles over time. However, it's a Usenet custom at add replies at the bottom - that way people can read the context first. Some people get really anal about it and will harass you. Since you're using Outlook Express, I can recommend an add-on that will make bottom posting much easier (because OE always positions the cursor at the top of the message). It's called OE-Quotefix, it's free, and can be downloaded at http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software.../downloads.php thanks for the heads-up Stan and for the link how did you know i was using outlook? Stan can see you through your monitor. Eerie, eh? ;-) There's a line in the message header that states what program created the post. In yours, the line reads: X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 -- TL, Tim ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj ok thanks Tim ill try to remember tony |
