Actually to add my two cents as well, Pete is exactly right. I was an early user of Outlook and so easily accepted the HTML default and the top posting. I now have a friend who uses the HTML-top posting default and, in replies to longer messages, winds up placing something like "See ****" at the top and then inserting comments with these leading characters in the HTML text. That works, but is much less efficient than plain text with the ">" marking the previous material, allowing you to find the comments easily. Some years ago when a group I thought of joining wanted me to sign up to use their Slack account, I had to investigate what it was and came across a review that gushed about how much better Slack was than e- mail. My immediate reaction was that the reviewer simply did not know how to use e-mail.
