While I agree with you, the whole "top posting vs bottom posting"
issue is something I don't get into in the microsoft.public groups.
It's not worth it. Many threads just aren't deep enough to be
confusing.
What's baffling is that he read the evidence, quoted the evidence
in his reply, and then suggests that I take *my* problem to the
Mozilla groups? I guess it would be kind of humorous to post a
problem in the Seamonkey group complaining that Seamonkey was
removing everything after a dash-dash-space in a reply.
I haven't used Forte Free Agent in years. I take it that it'll do
the same thing as Seamonkey (with the delimiter)?
Of course it will, it is standards compliant.
Maybe yours is broken too?
Only in the eyes of those who can not see.
Maybe all news clients are broken except for OE and the
only reason for the delimiter is for aesthetic reasons.
LOL.
We are preaching to the choir, I'm afraid. Those who use microjunk
products are destined to think that they, and they alone, declare what
is standard and what is not. Of course, everything THEY do is
standard, right?
It would be too much to ask of those who use a non-standard product to
adjust their behaviour so that standards are easily followed. If *I*
used OE or O you would have to threaten me with a large loss indeed
before I would top-post.
