I don't know of a way to do this automatically, but how difficult is it to
position the cursor at the end of the message, either with the mouse or
with a keystroke combination such as Ctrl-End?  Regardless of how it's
accomplished, positioning the cursor is trivial compared with trimming
excess material and generating a response.

If I make independent comments on several of the original author's points,
I need to manually position the cursor anyway.  Isn't this something that
most of us could do in our sleep?

I'm not even sure that setting the cursor at the beginning of the quoted
message is a disadvantage.  For me, at least, it's much easier to trim
excess material by reading through the quoted text from top to bottom.

As Bob Talbot reminds us, it's WJM's list, and accordingly, he gets to make
the rules.  And WJM has been extremely tolerant--on many lists, those who
can't be bothered with the rules lose their posting privileges.

It's hardly as if the rules in question are unreasonable or onerous to
comply with.  I've never understood why this topic gets debated year after
year.
