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 -- Walter www.rationality.net - |

Thank you, Bruce.
Not sure if I really want to change it. What is the consensus at this time? Top or Bottom? -- Walter www.rationality.net - "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... Choose your weapon.

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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Walter R." wrote in message ... Thank you, Bruce. Not sure if I really want to change it.
