Re: New rules for business correspondence

[Ladonna Weeks <ladonnaweeks -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

As a digest reader, it appears there is absolutely no way to reply to a post but 
I really wanted to contribute my two cents to Sandy Harris's comment about 
placing the email response after the original text. Sandy says (among other 
things) "... but I'd say the second thing to learn about email style is never to 
top-post. Replies
go after quoted text."

Sandy placed that information after the original text and since I was scrolling 
through the digest, I almost missed it. And I think that even in an individual 
email, I might have missed it, thinking that the person might have hit the Send 
button before replying which I've done on occasion. Virtually everybody I 
correspond with either replies inline or above the original text.

Regardless of what you think is "right", if everybody does it the "wrong" way, 
you may have to bow to convention.
