Very informative piece of advice. But when using Opera Mini on gmail, replying it usually ends up as top post, though the reply will not be displayed unless one clicks show quoted text at the end of the sent message. On 16/10/2009, Ukang'a Dickson <ukanga@gmail.com> wrote:
Got this from another mailing list and thought i could share. I never really understood top posting until i saw these:
1. don't top post. 2. don't use "rich formatting" (html). 3. don't leave a huge signature. 4. don't quote in full.
these are good summaries of why: http://www.idallen.com/topposting.html http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html (and there are many others.)
