I generally follow the "after" rule, inspite of Eurograths
(il)logic ;)
I look at it like a conversation. You will notice that the person
is quoted by ">" (or whatever symbol you pick in your preferences)
In order for me to reply to something you said I only quote the
part I am replying to in your case where DO I put my response.
To some extent the rest of your message is superfluous to my
intended response so you get back what I am responding to (more
(il)logic?)
I hate having to reread verbatim requotes especially 3 or 4 times
if the threads are long (especially ifthey are resposnes to
Eric's responses to your questions!)
Same with the muglo info at the bottom - once is enough I don't
need it 3 or 4 or ... times.
And I now have a question of my own. For those that have the
Sender said at such and such a time header - e.g. Ilbert Walker
wrote on "date" at "time" how do you get that without a lot of
cutting and pasting. I can get the Who but the date and time is
a mystery so I generally don't bother. Eric you are
particularily good at this & I compliment you for that.
Eagerly awaiting replies!
Martin
