Oh, for Pete's sake, you can change that in your Preferences in 5 seconds.
Edit=>Account Preferences=> Compostion and Addressing=>Check the box
that says "If I respond, quote the original text automatically" (or
uncheck it to solve the entire issue), and then use the dropdown menu to
change "start my response above the quoted text" to "start my response
below the quoted text". I mean, the only reason it's the "default" is
because the word "above" is alphabetically above the word "below" so the
"above" option appears first in the list.
While you're in the prefs, you might want to uncheck "Compose messages
in HTML format" (on the same dialog) as well.
Defaults are just that; default selections that the user can change if
desired. They're not set in stone ('default' in this context implies
that other choices exist and are available, as opposed to hard-coding,
which can't be changed by the user, so are not 'default' settings but
'fixed' settings).
Sorry to go OT again, but I just couldn't let that pass.
