Hey Chase,

that's one nifty add-on (can I say nifty here?). I might not of gotten any
answers for my chilisoft questions but this makes it worth it.

Re: sun chilisoft

I actually have no strong preference, except that I will always intersperse
my reply when responding to different points within the post. Otherwise,
because OE-Quotefix makes it easy, I usually bottom-post my initial replies,
but if the respondant top-posts his reply to my post, I usually comply with
that unless I have to respond to several points within his response.

When bottom-posting, I try to trim all the irrelevant stuff from the
original post so that scrolling is not so much an issue. It's not always
possible.

With top-posting, it's way too easy to forget to trim the quotes from
previous messages, resulting in increased bandwidth usage, which is still an
issue even in these days of broadband.

I'd like to apologise for being a bit 'funny' with my original post.
After reading your woes with getting docs from Sun I feel a bit bad!

Re: sun chilisoft

Bah it's no big deal. I've just about given up on Sun for support on their
product. I think I'll start running some tests with Windows Server 2003. I
heard that Microsoft offers a web only version of the OS. Would you guys
recommend it? Is it limited in any shape or form as far as ASP is
concerned?

o URL only responses with no clues to content
o constantly changing subject lines
o anonymous nics (oops - I'll change back just as soon as I've dumped my
current provider - promise)
o Top posting ....

I've been looking for a tool like this ever since I left my old job (and
consequently the Mac world). Ironically, these features (color coding,
auto-wrapping, etc.) were built into OE5 for the Mac.

Not ASP, but it cannot run certain apps, such as SQL Server.
