</I>Android mail does that by default. But that just proves my other point.
Half the time these replies complaining about top posting, lazyness, or
'netiquette' are being shot back instead of useful respones. In a forum
this is much less of a problem. Most forums are only setup to send just
your own reply to the topic, and quoting a specific post instead of the
whole thread. Thus not letting the user quote that much at a time by
default. Less redundancy by design, and we can move past the
'netiquette' complaints and focus on the topics more. And in the process
actually modernize this communication system in a way that moves AWAY
from mailboxes bombed with redundancy. Don't count on the users to use
'netiquette' because its been long proven that 'common sense is not all
that common', and its by definition 'insane' to expect everyone to use
it. Because it will always be a problem with some new users who are new
to mailing lists.
