[FoRK] Poisoned DNS and informal certificates

[Stephen D. Williams]

I have my own internal rules about top-, bottom-, or interspersed- 
posting. (Interspersed being incremental bottom posting...) Bottom 
posting is not categorically correct in all cases.
Obviously, I'm pointing out the obvious.
Many people will not grok a message that is repeatedly bottom posted, 
simply because the important information is not right there at the top 
of the message. That's why even with interspersed you often need to top 
post with a note to pull the reader into the message.

If we had the same outline mode in every email reader so that we could 
collapse the historical part of the message until needed, then we could 
consistently bottom post. Or email readers that would seek unquoted 
content, perhaps with a coded scrollbar that indicates where unquoted 
content is. (I like that idea actually.) It could even indicate level 
and source of various quoted material in the scrollbar / window edge.
