Default Change top postings to bottom postings?

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

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

Thank you, Bruce.

Not sure if I really want to change it. What is the consensus at this time?
Top or Bottom?

For the Microsoft help groups, top posting is preferred (and I prefer to
defy convention). For most of the rest of the Usenet, bottom posting is
preferred (but you may choose to defy convention, if you are willing to take
the flak). There is no consensus on which is best; there are equally valid
arguments for each.

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?

For MSNews, I usually top post, but I always adapt to the current
circumstance in a thread.
