Evo doesn't have a setting for top-posting. What you describe is the
default layout. A year or two ago I objected that this encouraged
top-posting (which I detest on mailing lists but don't mind elsewhere).
It was explained to me that the idea is to encourage people to *edit*
the quoted text instead of just lumping it all into the reply.
