There's no need to skip the whole history when the person whose post=20 you're reading has snipped well: only the relevant stuff is there. > I do assume that you prefer "Bottom-Posting", from your reply's > position. Is "Inline-posting" acceptable too? Inline-posting is what's needed. Just quoting the whole previous=20 post and then adding your answer at the bottom is no good either:=20 first snip everything that you're not reacting to. Glad that the re-emerging worked, though.
