I second this request. I realize that sighted participants in list
discussions often use in-line quoting, but despite my efforts to adapt
to it, I have found it highly inefficient for me as a screen reader
user. When I have been following a message thread, it is annoying to
have to hear repetitions of previous correspondence before getting to
new material -- enough so that I reach a point of deleting messages not
directed specifically to me if I discover the writer consistently
practices this style of email. I know the intent is not negative, but
the reality is that it presents significant usability problems for blind
people with today's email and screen reader technologies -- at least the
ones with which with I'm familiar.
Regards,
Jamal

Hi Daniel,
It is common courtesy on this list to place your responses at the
beginning
of your email. This way, people do not have to arrow down through what
they
have already read to get to your text. I emailed you about this off-list,
but was rebuffed and ignored.
Sorry, but as long as you persist in the practice of placing your
responses
at the bottom of your email, I am just going to delete them.
Regards,
Jim
