Excuse me for butting in on this thread, but as much as I'm aware of the
'natural-ness' of bottom-posting and its usefulness for long threads, I
believe top-posting is still a relatively common general choice for
emails. While generality doesn't translate to correctness, shouldn't
such a choice be up to the user(s) who are in communication? Doesn't
seem the place of an email client to 'dictate' (in a minor sense) to the
user the right way to send his/her mails.
