Since the user you replying to is blind it's probably easier for him to top-post. However, editor of a newsreader or mailreader should put signature under all the quoted text regardless if user top-posts or not. Not sure why the quote would be below his sig unless he copied and pasted it there manually. Or, perhaps, he typed in his signature manually while composing the reply?

I'm not sure but it looks like it might do the job. Bill -- If you want to send me a message remove NOSPAM from my email address.

That is, before you submit, do you convert all the quoted content to also be in top-post style? Else, you're creating a jumbled mess. There are lots of arguments of whether to use top- versus bottom-posting. Rather than get into all that again, just be polite. If you bottom-post, all the quoted content should also appear in bottom- post order. If you top-post, all the quoted content should also appear in top-post order. Else, you are a lazy slob making a mess for other readers to decipher. So, what's your excuse for moving the quoted content in your relies to AFTER the sigdash line hence making the quoted content part of your signature, not part of the message body? Quoted content does NOT go into the sigblock!

In my book, criticising Brian for the way his posts are laid out is way out of order. I'm just glad that Brian is able to post, no matter how it looks. -- Chris

The culprit appears to be his choice of newsreader, Outlook Express, which is a poor NNTP client. However, if blind then how would he configure OE-QuoteFix, or the config of OE (how did he get the accounts added?), or the registry edits introduced since WinXP SP-2 to fix where OE places the sigblock and reply content? Even if blind, he needs something to hear his replies as well as the articles he reads. If his "reader" lets him hear his composition, he'd realize his quoted content was in the wrong place. His choice of 5 lines in his sigblock has nothing to do with him being blind. Those lines were his choice. Quoted content in the wrong position (after the sigdash) is due to his choice of newsreader. Being blind means he still needs some means to hear what he is composing. Posters should always review before submit whether blind or not. From his post, it appears he is already contemplating on moving away from OE, but only if it stops working. Well, OE never did work well for newsgroups. I remember when the flood of OE users showed in Usenet. What a bane since.
