And sometimes the actual context and whether or not it might be confusing what is being responded to exactly. For example top or bottom posting "yes" to a bunch of questions can be confusing, as can "no". For the record I tend to prefer top posting. I can scroll down if I forgot what the thread is about or never read it but when I do know it gives me an often useful response immediately at the top like "a newer version of XYZ has fixed that bug". With luck any context I needed is in the Subject: (XYZ crashes when...) I normally use Emacs/VM to read my email which may have capabilities which influences my preference. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs AT TheWorld DOT com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo* -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
