what is "top posting"

Hi Tony. 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

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
