Email isn't all about the moment like you try to think it is. It's preserved for posterity and not everybody wants to read a whole thread to figure out what solved some random printing problem. Good quoting gives them a summary in the archive without having to read two dozen messages from six years ago in the archives. Though if you're going to be so defensive of breaking searching the archives, why not just change the mailing lists to a PHPNuke? That's about as easy to deal with as top-posted messages in archives (which is to say, like pulling teeth). -- Paul Johnson Email and Instant Messenger (Jabber): baloo@ursine.ca http://ursine.ca/~baloo/
