I've tried sticking to the proper way for a long time (there was even a plugin for Apple Mail at the time), but eventually gave up on it after getting one too many responses of the "I can't see your email, all I see is my own text quoted" type. This saddens me, but I wasn't about to go on some holy crusade of educating everyone I needed to communicate with about the sin of top-posting.
- ColinWright 13y agoI've also had that problem, and I agree that it's not my job to educate the world in the "One True Way(tm)". However, I still find it more effective to be summarising conversations as I go, so that after 20 back-n-forths I can actually see what's going on. To that end, and to avoid the problem you mention, I start all emails with a variant of: Thank you for your email - please find my replies to your various points interleaved below, each in context.
