We had a new employee that started with us, and used bottom posting on some of her replies, and most people thought that her replies were empty. ISTR that T'bird has preferences for this. Not so? I use it and have NP interspersing my responses with the quoted text. BTW, I don't think "bottom" posting is as good as interspersed text, but it is less labor-intensive (for the *poster*) to just do top or bottom. > <snip> -- Bill
