Consultants always do things the hard way. It results in more billable hours.Top posting leads to a big mess. Every non-technical person does it and it ends up with them saying "let's use a forum or something" because they can't follow the thread any longer. Surprise surprise, a forum works with bottom posting and everybody seems to find that normal.I run a list for techs/consultants. (ChannelVar.com)They are a VERY qualified bunch of guys. (Admittedly not linux users though) :)The preferred method is top posting. The preferred format is to allow html.
Let's see them read a newspaper that's been printed "top-posted". It's retarded.
HTML in e-mail.... well, that's a completely different flamefest, but suffice it to say it's rare that HTML formatting can add any information to the message being conveyed. There are exceptions, but for 99% of e-mail, it's not necessary.
Just like most consultants. Nate
