Allegedly, on or about 17 May 2018, stan sent: > Yeah, it's exactly the opposite of business communications, where > everyone just puts their response at the top, and the whole chain is > in the message below. There, everyone is in the loop, so it makes > more sense to just put the response at the top. It's almost essential in the business world, because they're not using list servers. Without doing all that reply on top of reply stapling, or using a list server, only two people can email back and forth, and see all the messages in the chain. Try including a third person, and the only way for them to keep track, is to include all the prior messages with every reply. It's very messy and inefficient, and horrendously storage space wasting when people incorporate huge attachments. It's yet another reason why businesses are eschewing email for other kinds of collaboration software, instead (which bring in their own sets of logistical and user-education nightmares). > I suppose that style would work in mailing lists, also, but it would > be a lot more traffic, and people who pop in on the middle of a > conversation would have to do a lot of work to come up to speed. It's an extraordinarily bad way of doing things for lists like this. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.7-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 2 21:45:56 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
