What would be correct way to explain in a top post msg. "Find my

in the message below"? I have seen the correct sentence quoted in
few
msg. on the list, about email-list etiquette, but unfortunately I
haven't save the msg. for reference.

I don't really understand the question.  Always reply to all messages
with proper inline [aka bottom ? posting] responses and quoting.  It
seems absurd to always say "see below" at the top of every message.

I just need to correct English sentence to inform my correspondent to
read my answer in quotes. Many people do not read quotes in the messages
by the simple fact they are so accustomed to top posting answers (in the
Outlook way). (e.g. a correspondant return my quoted message saying that
I forgot to answer. I have to send it for a second time saying the
answer is in quotes, in his message--if I make sense).

If I recall the term used by a few English people around here was:
answer interleaved? but I am not sure or the exact (proper) term.

Apology: this msg has been sent 3 times a. direct answer, not to the
list. b. to the list using my default personal email address (not member
of the list), and lastly c. to the list with the correct email address
(difficult to wake up this morning!)
