I don't want to get into top-/bottom-/medium-/whatever-posting debate (I
am already in one flamewar about that on our internal list :-)), but
needless to say, that there are *some* sensible people who in *some*
scenarios (like personal reply in the firm, where top-posting is standard,
or when forwarding inline) prefer top-posting (see links covering the
discussion from both sides and IMHO pretty well on
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Posting#External_links>).

It would be quite useful IMHO to be able to set up some configuration
options making in some scenarios default top-posting and in some others
bottom-posting (unfortunately, there is probably no way how to enforce
trimming of the previous messages :-)). So for example Reply-to-list
should certainly lead to the bottom-posting, but useer could be able to
configure that Reply-to-author, Forward-inline, or Reply-to-all (or all of
them) lead to the top-posting. I was able to make such configuration with
mutt (obviously, you can do anything in mutt ;-)), but it would be really
lovely to have this option in Evolution as well.

Does it make any sense to you?

P.S.: Being this my first post to this NG/list, let me introduce myself. I
was for many years happy user of KDE (and KMail, and before that mutt),
but when I switched to my current job, I had to switch to Gnome. Although
(as good user of KDE ;-)) I did not expect much, I found the experience of
using Gnome surprisingly pleasurable one (with some exceptions, but of
course other exceptions would have to be taken from the general pleasure
of using KDE as well). Now, I would like to understand better Gnome and to
help to make it even better (that's my job, after all, as well).
