And it's about time the old farts got over their indignation at top posting, 
anyway. It's become common usage, and really most logic against
top posting was derived out of limited view 80x24 terminal screens 
and Usenet.

If it annoys you, you need to stop whining about it and get a bigger 
monitor so you can see the context. :-P Top posting is acceptable
and common these days.

Actually, yes, we were just forced to use outlook AND use Word as the
default editor. Oh wait, did I mention that group policy prevents us
from changing any of the mail settings?

      I worked for MSN for a while (peering in Asia) so I know what
      it is to use outlook, however, I did turn off the word (just delete
      it, uninstall it etc) and the HTMLness.

      Please accept my commisserations and I hope you have more than 256mb
      of ram in your box. I couldn't actually run more than one application
      at once.
