[leglug-users] Email replies - the better way

Hello folks,

I have been noticing over the past several threads that a lot of
people don't bother with the way they reply to emails and quote
others. What I would like to suggest, and point out, is the idea of
top posting versus bottom posting.

Let me illustrate:

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

If you take a look at that, you will clearly see that it does not make
much sense if someone is trying to read the conversation. I personally
think that replying to emails using bottom posting is the way to go,
using inline replies as you go too.

What do others think?

Best regards.

hisham.
