I've had this discussion a few times with different mailing lists
and opinions vary quite considerably sometime to arguments :-/<br>
<br>
I personally try to bottom post when possible and Thunderbird does
this automatically (including trimming) when you use the reply to
mailing list option.<br>
<br>
However I find this to be a legacy thing and personally I either use
the thread function of Thunderbird or go to the web based archive
system when I want to read an entire thread.<br>
<br>
So for me, I'm not bothered and will just set my client to comply
with this list's preference.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
