BTW Come on guys start putting your response on the bottom of the message
if
you want to reference something that has been written before<<

Or, how about this way?  Makes it easier to read, and takes up a lot less
space. Also, gets the reply right next to the statement you want to reply
to.

Just highlight the statement you want to reply to.  Type ctrl-c (copy) then
click on reply, put the cursor in the body and type ctl-v (paste).

I keep both the original message and the reply open at the same time, and
side by side until I'm done.

I am going to delete everything after your new message unless you start
doing this.<<

I hope you don't delete this! As I mentioned, doing it this way, gets your
reply right next to the sentence you are replying to.  It can also be done
by setting your email software to include the original message in the reply,
then insert your comments where needed, and delete everything else.

Sounds like a lot of work, but once you get used to it, it's second nature.

BTW...the ctrl-c. ctrl-v commands only work for Windows...other OSs will
have some other command for copy and paste.

That will be fine with me. What I object to is the lazy SOB's that just
put their reply on top of all the other messages :-)
