Surely there is some mail client smart enough to be able to flip around
the levels of indenting so most recent is top or bottom.
If not quit bitching and make one - I will continue top posting since I
don't seem to be alone in preferring it.
That was one of the first things that came to mind.
I'm definitely more keen on inline replies - if you reply to 20 points
in someone's email you quote the part you're replying to then reply to it.
That was the standard for much of the 90's for emails. I do like that
method but most people don't seem to do it anymore.
In a long email it's the only way. Otherwise you'd scroll down to find
the question, scroll up to find the answer, scroll down to find the next
question, scroll up for the next answer etc - crazy.
It's also easier to keep the context of what's going on. If replying in
one big block, I try to keep the style of one paragraph of response for
each paragraph of question, but sometimes stuff just mixes in between
and you can easily lose context.
Much easier when replies are inline with the questions.
It gets hard to follow when there's a dozen nested levels of reply. In
conclusion, I think it "just depends" (tm).
