Well, not really a rant, but: What's the deal with people replying to an email without quoting the original message? I mean, usually I remember what it was about, but when I receive an answer a week after I wrote, that can be tough. I just detest to look for my own mail in my sent box…

That's better…

They've been scared out of quoting by people who complain about top-posted replies.

Not possible on iPhone. And I don't like it on my Mac, either.

Oh, you misunderstand.

My point was that, back then, we DID NOT DO our homework
