  A reply is made with this response.

It  does  not.  It  disapproves  both  top and bottom posting as shown
above.

Please  do  not respond to moderator posts on list, although I welcome
the opportunity to clarify the actual rules, so, thank you. :)

Putting   the  NEW  text before whatever is quoted is normal on 99% of
mailing lists. Much easier to   read   without  having  to  scroll  past  all  
the quotes to find
something new and even more so if multiple people reply.

This  is  the  ONLY  list  I  am  subscribed to that insists on bottom
posting.

Mailbase

[Goos]

Before I probably make a mess of it..

So I created at my new PC the same accounts in TB as at my old PC but
not as POP3 but as IMAP.
Question:
Can I simply copy the message base files from my old PC to the
configured local location of the new setup to see all saved mail there?

The file is not changed. When you open it from TB it is saved temporarily and 
made readonly. It's a file attribute.
