Re: Netiquette

I prefer to top post as well, but I honestly don't care, emails are ussually formated in a way that makes it easy to find the latest post. And by the way HTML emails are ASCII text just like a text email but with an extra header. They cannot carry viruses any more than a standard web page can, but I am always open minded so if you would like to disprove me just show me an example. :) -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Lewis" <jeff@hyrum.net> To: "James Drabb" <JDrabb@darden.com>; "Php-General (E-mail)" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 1:16 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Netiquette > Maybe I'm different but I much more prefer to find the new message at the > top.
