Dudes, since everyone goes off on top posters around here I was
wondering if any of you Thunderbird experts may know how to configure
the email reply and forward to park the courser on the top when dealing
with email.

95% of the US at least top post their replies in email. T-bird is a
great newsreader for bottom posting but email would be more convenient
going to the top automatically. And yes I know that Microsoft was the
evil behind all this...

Thanks in advance

And where, pray tell, did you come up with that nugget.

You might look under Tools/Account Settings/Composition and
Addressing/Automatically quote the original message when replying/ and
chose "start my reply above the quote". At least this works in Thunderbird
1.5.0.4. the latest one out.

Bill who doesn't top post in email.

Thanks guys, I knew you were the bottom posting gurus! I looked all over
for that but as a hyper-focused Microsoft tech I got stuck in Tools
Options... didn't even think of looking in account settings... You rock!

In regards to coming up with the nugget just personal experience from
10 years of fortune 500 desktop support and now owning my own biz...
probably more like 98% of my customers are top posters. Outlook, OE,
Yahoo, Gmail etc. It is a Microsoft world out there. If you ever get
whacked with other Windows problems email me off-line and will be glad
to help and give you my toll free number. I use remote control software
to move your mouse and keyboard while we work on the phone.

Some of my International customers are bottom posters but they are more
anti-Microsoft and big fans of Eudora, Agent etc.

If so, 95% of U$ians are morons...not a surprising figure, now that I
thinks about it.


Once again I'm in the top 5%. Not surprising when you think about it.

Well I can tell you that people who email me more than twice always bottom
post.

Thanks for the offer, but I've been mucking around with Windows since 3.1.
Haven't had a problem yet I couldn't figure out. Yet.

'Course this Vista Beta is a bit... different.

You sound trizollaphobic that could actually be your latent
trizollosexuality that has been repressed since your chizldhood. You
should watch more Dr. Phillis and get in touch with your feelings.

Or he could read the threads in which he's posting, and possibly
figure out the difference between e-mail and the Usernet.

I'm with you sir. In my book, top-posting is just a synonym
for "into the killfile", email or post. I figure it people
can't follow accepted norms then the hell with 'em.

I guess I just don't play nice with idiots... ;-)

No need to read. I can make any point (or non-point) and as soon as you
see my name, you bite!

Dangit all, I should killfile you......again.....ROTFLMAO.
