Now that's interesting. I had assumed it would be less annoying than
having them inline. Especially since people had already adopted a
similar convention before we got Markdown support. I gave up on
Thuderbird and went full-on with the web interface a couple of years
ago, so I've had no view of the experience post-Markdown.
Yeah the convention isn't terrible, but it looks weirder for sure when
the link is missing.
E.g. look at this post:

and then a reply:
