Um did you not read my previous message? Obviously not, mate... I
agree with you on the HTML, gmail enabled it by default. I disabled it
after you pointed it out, so thank you.

Quite honestly top, middle or bottom posting all seems indifferent to
me. Correct me if I am wrong here but I thought the information was
the important part of the message not whether it is located at the top
or at the bottom? Hmmm guess I was wrong, I now be more considerate
and concern myself with the layout of my messages rather then helping
people.

In the interests of keeping you happy and god forbid all other people
who are more concerned with layout happy I will cease my evil ways of
top posting.
