This time I could resist to reply to the junk mail topic and I even was able to ignore the posting style topic for a while, but please stop swearing. Some of us, including myself, sometimes offend netiquette. No hard feelings! While we're on it, interleaved posting and bottom posting is preferred on most, if not all mailing lists related to FLOSS operating systems and mailing lists for software written for those operating systems. I'm not aware of any MUA for those operating systems, that doesn't provide bottom posting as the default for replies. Indeed, if I use my iPad I need to move the cursor to the bottom, which isn't really hard to do, let alone that trimming quotes and interleave posting anyway is what most of the times is done, so the default position of the cursor most of the times is irrelevant. On FLOSS MUA mailing lists, e.g. Evolution, subscribers sometimes mention bugs of proprietary MUAs, e.g. Outlook Express, and they ask the developers of the FLOSS MUAs to fix issues caused by those bugs by mails sent from the proprietary MUAs, instead of reporting the bug to upstream of the proprietary MUAs. Instead of adapting something wrong and complaining at the wrong place, consider to send a feature request to the right addressee.
