Wait a minute, When you read a book. You start on page one and read
right to the back of the book (Or bottom of the book) when you
finish. Right?
Same (should) go for emails, you start at the top with reading, and
end up at the bottom where youre email answer begins.
Is that not the best way of making it easier for other people to
understand your email?
Still, bottom posters may be fighting a lost battle. In all the
companies i've worked for so far, there has not been a single
company with a "bottom" post policy of any kind.
These companies are usually the "exchange server" kind...
Thanks,
