Then why is he bottom posting? I doubt that David is doing that on purpose. Glenn

Which brings me back to my initial question: What webmail are we talking about here? Clearly it matters, as the behavior that Mr. Ingram seems to be having is, in my experience, atypical. It is

That obviously isn't the case for David, though. The original messages are there, and his cursor is being placed at the *bottom*. I don't think he's pressing ctrl-end. So either he has to change a

David, If your settings are set to not include the original message, you need to change that. Then, when you get into the body that you are planning on typing into, first press control + home, and

If it isn't top posted it gets deleted... Al

That’s also what I thought; I looked, and I have a braille display so this sort of thing is really fast – and didn’t find any content.

Yeah, I don’t actually disagree with you Brian, I should clarify that *one* message quoted should be sufficient (or maybe a very specific part of it, as you do, and your method of

All good points. On another list I am on, there are a few people who do not quote *anything*. It's almost impossible to tell what they are talking about at times, because there's no context at all

Just FYI, it really is almost always the subject line change. As "archive administrator" for the Win10 group I am constantly re-merging topics. It also drives me crazy when folks do something like,
