Unfortunately, MS has once again shot us all in the foot with their broken
standards. I do realize that MS is to blame for most of the top posting
that goes on because that is how they set up their email program. Also
note that because of prudent quote trimming you only had to look down
three lines from the top of the body of the email to see my comment so I
am sure that my message showed up in the first page and you did not have
to scroll at all.
