The common practice these days is top-posting, which is the default behavior in every mail client I have ever used (often, the only supported behavior), and I have never seen a client that one can set to top- or bottom-post on a per-recipient basis. Whenever I use a web-mail client that automatically folds up quoted text in a message, it never folds up anything if bottom-posting was used.
Also, most mail clients support viewing messages in thread order, and reading bottom-posted messages as a continuous thread is even more of a pain than reading a top-posted message using the 1971-vintage Unix mail client. -- August Schwerdfeger [email protected] On Fri, Oct 15, 2021 at 8:21 PM Andrew Greig <[email protected]> wrote: > Michael Raider is correct, and for clarity this was on the thread "problem > installing darktable". > > Thunderbird does not have any way to set the default reply to the bottom > of the thread, so there is some work involved to bottom post.
