I just survived a weekend-long flame war on another list that resulted
from a debate over how a message should be posted: top-posted,
bottom-posted, or inline with contextual quotations. (I think I still
have second-degree burns. Ouch!) I had no idea the culture of some
lists is so sensitive to this.
So I'm wondering whether there is a function or add-on for Outlook
Express that makes it easy for a totally blind person using JAWS to
take snippets of a prior message in a string and to cut&paste such
snippets into one's own reply. I've seen this done before; but to do
it myself, I've needed to export the original message to a Word
processing program, do manual editing inside of it (as with Microsoft
Word), and then paste the result back into the body of a new e-mail
message. The only way I've known to reply automatically with any
context in Outlook Express is through bottom- or top-posting.
What is the best way for doing this? Or should I switch to another
e-mail client such as Thunderbird?
Kind regards,
-Kane
