This is a big issue in the email world as far as ettiquite. Half say top post and half say bottom. To answer your question, yes. There are quite a few that top post. My webmail in fact will show the entire previous message (no matter how long of a novel it is) if someone bottom posts, but will only show a few lines if top posted and put "-show quoted text link-" I can't say there is an easy answer either. It used to be a big debate over HTML vs Text based emails with many complaining that they couldn't read the HTML. It didn't stop the trend to go to HTML as most of the email clients now send it that way by default. <div>On 2/2/06, Lee Revell <<a href="mailto:rlrevell@joe-job.com">rlrevell@joe-job.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Thu, 2006-02-02 at 14:45 -0600, Michael J.

Is there really a Linux mailer that top posts by default, or are there really people obnoxious enough to go into the config menu and turn that on? Is it a webmail problem?
