Windows Mail has the option to compose at the bottom of the message
"Leythos" wrote in message ... In article , says... Outlook Express is free, and works well as a newsreader.. I now use Windows Mail as I run Vista 24/7.. it's free and works well.. While OE is free, it does not work well - as shown my your reply, it puts the reply at the top instead of the bottom where it belongs. OE also requires a patch in order to properly quote and delimit sigs. -- remove 999 in order to email me |

While OE is free, it does not work well - as shown my your reply, it puts the reply at the top instead of the bottom where it belongs. It is extremely easy to put the cursor, and therefore the reply, wherever you want it, regardless of what Outlook Express does by default. Since I often intersperse my replies, to answer point by point, whether the newsreader puts the cursor at the top or bottom doesn't matter to me at all. I move it where *I* want it. Also note that the latest version of Outlook Express, in Vista (where it's called "Windows Mail," instead of "Outlook Express") finally gives you the option of whether the default cursor position is at the bottom or the top. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

Most helpful comment I could make is, there is an excellent newsgroup where they discuss *just* Agent and there are many helpful people who hang out there, including some of Agent's own team. alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent |

Top / Bottom Posting is purely matter of taste. You can be just as sloppy if you bottom post! Do you read what others have said in a thread before you post? How do you monitors threads which have caught y our interest? -- Regards. Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ron Martell" wrote in message ...

A properly snipped reply should have the reply visible without scrolling
to read the top few lines (at least). Sounds reasonable. No matter what the problem may be, unless I am really interested in what they have to say, I won't scroll a mile and a half to get there. Sheesh. Probably have to scroll a mile and a half to read that sentence. ;-) -- Hope this helps. Let us know.
