[wplug] A question of etiquette

[Poyner, Brandon]

Some of us have little choice but to use Outlook at work.  I barely
remember how I told it to always use plain text when posting to wplug.
I know I can force it to bottom post, but then it insists the entire
message is my content and the spell check has to go over other people's
post.  I frankly don't care enough to master Outlook just to solve one
little pet peeve.  $.02

I often delete mail that isn't wrapped properly.  So painful to read!

I think that top-posting breaks up the flow of conversation, implies
that the person writing has a big ego and has to have his/her words in
front of everything else, and place the burden of figuring out the
context of the reply on the reader.
