Re: Want original message BEFORE reply, not after

When I include an original message in a reply, I want the option to
have the original message to be the first thing displayed, and the
cursor to begin my reply placed after the quoted message. It seem to
me there used to be a way to do this. Please advise. Jay

I think you want to prevent the EVIL "top posting"

This works for me:
SETUP > Config
Under "Reply Preferences"
Check " Signature at Bottom"
Exit setup
Commit changes

This puts the reply cursor after the original message and before your signature (but what happens if you don't have a signature file ???)

OH OH It was working for me, but after going changing my setup-config
I can't get it back again. The cursor now comes out at
the top of message!!!
