<pre wrap="">I appreciate your taking the time to convert messages to plain text,
although my MUA, claws-mail, does that for me. I was wondering though
if you might consider losing the 'top-posting' concept however. It
would make following a thread so mush easier, especially when I need
to {snip} extraneous data from the post.

I don't have a top posting concept, I *almost* never do and I snip [...]
instead. Only time I do is if there is a big chuck of stuff I would remove
nearly all of and I am in a big hurry. Sorry about that one today. What bugs
me is when someone makes a one line remark on 100K of conversation and I
have to dig through the >>>>>> a couple times to find the answer.

I found an extension for Thunderbird that "folds" quoted material. So I
no longer have to scroll right to the bottom of every message (more
mouse miles) to see the comment that's been added. I also use another
one that draws a left and top boundary around each different quoting
level, and changes the colours of the quoted material. So deeper
quoting levels have gradually darker background shades of grey. These 2
combined make it much easier to read this list.<br>
