I've had disagreements with my wife about that. What was it, Lookout, er Outlook '08 that did that? The *real* issue is that the way email traditionally was, with bottom posting, or intercollation, made it *readable*, and esp. if you come into a thread late, you could figure out what was going on. I don't know of any written language on the planet that reads from the bottom up... and if *anyone* doesn't top post, like a lot of us, it makes it unreadable (up, down, up, down, down, up....)... which is why the generally-agreed convention on every mailing list I'm on is traditional format. mark "Kill Bill...."
