I tried to convince my daughter I was, but she didn't believe it. As a separate point, top-posting and putting the context (i.e. my response to your previous message) below your .sig (i.e. after the "--" line) meant that my newsreader chopped the context when creating this message. Yes, I could have manually re-inserted it, but I couldn't be bothered. Another reason top-posting is disliked.

Yes, I know. Back in the days when I used Outlook Express, I used to use OEQuoteFix. But my point was that although even though something like OEQuoteFix can make it easier, it isn't necessary. You can still put your reply anywhere you want before, after, or within the quoted text.

Two points: 1. You apparently use Outlook Express, and what you were told is wrong. There's no way to change where Outlook Express puts the cursor in a reply. 2. This is a slightly expanded repeat of what I said earlier: regardless of where Outlook Express, or any other newsreader, puts the cursor, it's very easy to move it wherever you want it. To bottom post, simply click at the bottom of the message and the reply cursor will move there.

One thing I learned quickly the first time I used a a GUI was to select where typed text would go (click or use the tab key, etc). I didn't notice the problem with OE (over a decade ago, when I used OE). -- 76 days until the winter celebration (Sunday December 25, 2016 12:00:00 AM for 1 day).

The 'franchise fee' goes to the local government, for their use of the right ow way. -- Never piss off an Engineer! They don't get mad. They don't get even. They go for over unity! ;-)
