Well I really minimize my quotes, so rarely would a quoted section be more than a half screen. Therefore one need only shift one's eyes down to read fresh message stuff. I don't know about your email reader but mine puts quoted and fresh in different colours so it's real easy to tell which is which. Once again Agent rules! Top posting with proper snipping is fine with me. Unfortunately people are human and it's only too easy to leave hundreds of lines of garbage below what's written and then click the send button.
