This is an example of why I top post.   Who wrote what?

Of course, if you use a mail client that's capable of quoting correctly, it all works beautifully.

Prefer top posting.
Easy to see if I want to scroll down to see if it is something
interesting to me.
I get a lot of e-mails each day and scrolling wastes too much time.

You can then also reply to another point here like this: it's as much about trimming previous posts as about not top posting. New posts should include just enough context to ensure the message isn't meaningless, but not quoting a 20+ line irrelevance. That way you see both the question and the answer without scrolling.

Whilst we're on the subject of mailing lists, I'd like to add my personal pet rant: MTAs that don't add/honour In-Reply-To headers. Completely breaks threaded readers.

That is all :-)

Kind regards,

Chris
