I work at a multi-national and Outlook is the norm. The norm of
Outlook is top posting, and it's OK since reading mails with bottom
posting & quotes are tough when they are 10s of messages on a given
subject. Sometims you're forwarded an email and need to go throught
the whole set of mails bottom up to understand the context as the
quoted parts not always cover everything.

HTML is also a must as there are multiple occasions where you want to
insert a picture and comment on it, or a table and make annotations or
comments over it as well. Many in-line replies carry different font &
color (Outlook does a good job of putting your name &pick a good color
to differentiate your comments in someone else's mail.
Yes, there may be better methods to do all these things but tough to
convince so many people.
