Your choice. But you want to grow a thicker skin or stay with the
petunia primping forums.

My preference is to add what I have to say after each segment I am
responding to and to snip heavily, leaving just enough to identify the
part of the post I am responding to, and which post. It's a slow day
when I follow fewer than 50 threads.

Top posting has another problem, people don't snip the extra, and
occasionally add a single line or two in the middle. With word wrap
breaking previous posts and some people not adding a blank line before
their contribution? What they say is easily lost.

As for your problem email, the point remains. You need the headers. You
cannot get the headers? Ask how to do so, don't go peeing and moaning
about how bad mannered people are for telling you that you need to give
more information before they can help.
