No, you don't. Press Ctrl-Home to get to the top of the message
instantly. BTW, those characters work in most windows, not just
Outlook Express.
I'll tell you a reason that I prefer bottom posting, Mike. Your reply
has the "-- " line before your signature. When I reply to your
message using Agent, it automatically removes everything below the
signature line. Unfortunately, that removes the original message and
every reply except yours, too. I have to press Ctrl-A (Select All)
before replying.

Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group
for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions
addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
