List,
I second Carl's emotion about quoted text. I personally have no
problem simply looking through the quoted text for pertinent
information. Most of the time, it seems the complaint is about
scrolling through several lines of quoted text at the top of the
message to get to a two-line reply at the bottom. I've suggested to
Marc that we simply put the quoted text at the BOTTOM, so the reader
can see the reply first, and if they need a reference, they can
scroll down to the quotes. This post is an example of that. C how
ya like it.
