Not end/bottom post! That's really no better than top-posting, because we
still have to scroll down through the massive post you're quoting.
Brutally trim the post you're replying to and INTERLEAVE your reply. So
it's trimmed/interleave you want to go for on public mailing lists.
Top-posting is fine for private/business where you add correspondents as
the conversation progresses.
The biggest pain is finding an MUA that can support both and allows the
different quoting style. In interleaved, prefix the quote with "> ". In
top-post, copy the message below a separator line with no prefix. Has
anyone found a decent MUA that can do that? I love the ancient Mulberry for
mailing lists. But it insists on prefix-quoting when I top-post. So does
Thunderbird, which I use in parallel to deal with HTML email (which is
useful for support for inline images, like when a customer is reporting a
broken product).
