Change top postings to bottom postings?
As top-posting is the default in OE and as this is a Microsoft newsgroup,
top-posting is the convention here. PS: Your headers (Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512) tell us that your WinXP computer is NOT fully-patched at Windows Update! Why isn't it? Walter R. wrote: Thank you, Bruce. Not sure if I really want to change it. What is the consensus at this time? Top or Bottom? Choose your weapon. OE-QuoteFix: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ Or a reg hack: For XP/SP2 or 3 only, you can control top and bottom posting with this registry change. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID for the identity}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0 Right click on a blank spot in the right pane | New | Dword and create a new DWORD and name it: Reply At End To bottom post, set the value to 1 To top post, set the value to 0 -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Walter R." wrote in message ... I am still using ie6 for newsgroups. Some newsgroups get mad as hell when they see someone top-post to a reply. Ie6 always top-posts. Can this be changed to bottom postings?

You can use CTRL-End at the beginning of a reply to position the cursor at
the bottom of the reply before typing. steve "Walter R." wrote in message ... I am still using ie6 for newsgroups. Some newsgroups get mad as hell when they see someone top-post to a reply. Ie6 always top-posts. Can this be changed to bottom postings? Thanks -- Walter www.rationality.net - |
