Hi,

incase you are new to the comp.sys.acorn news groups, there are three little
conventions that we follow to make it far easier for everyone to read.

1) The reply you type should be after the previous message(s) text, or
interleaved with it. Not at the top, which is the default for some PC
software such as Outlook and Outlook Express - these particular programs
can be fixed with a patches from:-
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/

2) You should edit the previous message(s) to just the points directly
relevant to your reply, and not just include the entire thing.

3) Make sure all your lines are less than 76 characters wide, to prevent
unsightly spillage of odd words on to the next line, and to make it
easier for people replying.

For further information please refer to the following:-
