Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 07:17:08 -0400 Mike: You are essentially correct. If reading mail using an e-mail client like Outlook Express or Thunderbird, and if recent messages are just being viewed one by one, top-posting is easier to read if I'm just looking to see what the most recent part of a thread is, because it appears right there on top of everything else. No, I don't think any screen reader has the artificial intelligence built in to automatically skip older content on bottom-posted messages. But one can navigate straight to the bottom of a message and then arrow up to find the start of the most recent posting. This does not happen automatically. You are correct that top-posting makes for more perceived clutter in a Web archive, because it leads to more irrelevant search results. -Kane Received on 2007-08-27 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
