There are pros and cons to both top and bottom posting, but like most endian-type arguments, there are NO pros to a *mixture* of top and bottom posting.
There is a comprehensive discussion of quotation styles in german on this webpage, which is a default place to point people to in the german speaking area: http://einklich.net/usenet/zitier.htm I don't know, if any automatic translation is able to transport the content good enough to any other language. Anyway, the author comes to the conclusion, that shortened inline quotes is the most reasonable and easy to use one for the reader. That is exactly the style, that has always been standard on the boost mailing lists as well as on many others. Christof
