Jim, I've taken into consideration what you wrote in your mail, but there
are (from my point of view) a few problems with this.

For starters, without letting the replyer have the original message at top
how will anyone know what the reply is for (espcially on larger mailing
lists where perhaps one person sends two replys under the same subject).
Perhaps this isn't a problem for you but I would find it a rather big problem.

Secondly, when the reply is put after an original part it's much easier to
"see" (if you don't mind the use of that word) what the reply is refering to.

And third, several other people that are blind doesn't seem to have any
problem.

Are you certain there's no way you can't make the program ignore lines
starting with a ">"?

Please don't take me wrong, I do understand that there's a reason you are
asking us to do this.
