My first attempt at posting messages

this figured out, as the responses are not placed where I want them to go.


This is a specific featuer to your mail client. LookOut and LookOut Express will always place the cursor for reply above the quoted text (top-posting), which is great for one-on-one conversations but murder for mailing lists and newsgroups (one-to-many communication). There is no way to change that, I think, just more work for you. Eudora is a lot more flexible and respects the standards.

Is there an ettiquette document? How should replies be formatted?


All I can suggest off the top of my head is:

Doubtless there are others.

Try http://www.rhil.net/docs/rhil-guide.thml

It was written for the redhat-install-list, but it's valid for this one,
too.
