Unfortunately, I can't remember the thread. I am following 20+ mailing lists, each with several simultaneous conversations. I actually read the quoted parts before the reply, to catch up with the topic. Having the quotes at the top means I can read the post from top-to-bottom rather than bottom-to-top. > that means > for every message it is [select/click, search wth scroll/spacebar, read, > delete/reply]. > the scrolling down to the relevant part of the message seems like a > serious waste of time for > hundreds of recipients, especially when everyone has to search for it > manually. This method actually saves me a tremendous amount of time. It has become the standard on USENET and most mailing lists that I can think of. These people have tried numerous ways and different ideas, and in the end, the best idea won. I think you should try it first before complaining. - -- Jonathan Gardner <jgardner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Live Free, Use Linux! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/N90wWgwF3QvpWNwRAmK+AKCzP1mYOFZWYqEoANICosUXpvMDQwCfUdd1 4lYzXOdOLC2l6YQhlzj/fLU= =uskZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
