I had a customer blast me about inlined responses, it drove me bonkers. I was
responding to 15 individual questions.

The above mention customer continued to indicate how unprofessional I was by not
top posting my reply. The reason was there was no instruction to the reader that
they should review the WHOLE email for new information. So now I can demonstrate
good business etiquite and good netiquite. See first line of email.
P.S. I use outlook. I set it to Plain Text, and I move my cursor to where I want
to type.
Thanks for hearing my rants too.
