Subject: [boost] Help please with Boost Discussion Policy

It has been pointed out to me that I need to change my habits from top posting to be conformant to the Boost Discussion Policy http://www.boost.org/community/policy.html

I accept this fully and I am seeking some guidance how to achieve this. At my place of work our email client is Microsoft Outlook 2010 and the normal practice is top posting.

When I am at home I can access the same system via a web email client which does the same thing.

The Boost policy document reffers to Quote-Fix (http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/ ) which was last updated in 2006 and does not work with current versions of Outlook.

There is also this:
 http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/macros4outlook/index.php?title=QuoteFix_Macro

I am doing most of my Boost work from home and want to be able to communicate freely.

Ideally what I want to do is to switch between the styles so that only my Boost and related work is in quoted style.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you

John Fletcher
