Greetings,
I am somewhat bemused by the way email programs I have so far experienced,
work regarding how they process posts being sent when the one being replied
to is left.
In general, I tend to remove the posts to which I am replying, for in most
cases, I have read a thread and hence each post in turn so don't really want
to re-read again. Of course, top replying makes this much more simple.
If, as seems the case on most non-vi lists, such as on the UK Radio list (I
do not mean the UK Radio Listeners list run by Clive Lever) and also on the
TNAUK group, top-replying is discouraged but is not illegal! why, then, do
all the email clients I've seen place the editting cursor **above** the post
to which a reply is being generated? Surely, this is seen by the software
developers of such clients as being the most natural way to use them.
Just a few thoughts as I read through the rather ancient thread of February
last year.
From Colin Howard, who lives in Fareham on
the coast of Central Southern England.
One of these days I may even get onto Facebook,
twitter or skype, so you can't escape from me forever!!
