I am increasingly running into problems with email communications. My normal posting style (as established by ancient Internet rules, and my email software configuration (Eudora)) is that the response comes above, and I reply below. Unfortunately, many people seem to have adapted the Microsoft/AOL/Morondujour standard of top responding. This becomes a mess when engaged with an extended email discussion between two people of differing protocols.

I find it very frustrating to do a top post, but if I don’t, then it becomes very difficult to find the history of the exchange, since they switch back and forth.

Is there a solution to this problem?
