Like, 1960s? Or do you mean more modern email in the 90s?

I get why people top post, it's quick and easy. And as threads get longer, the 
reply is ready to find.

But conversely, coming into the middle of a thread it is painful to deal with 
top posting. It's more annoying in newsgroups than anything.

With common quote characters, it would be nice to see more email clients 
collapsing the quoted text as gmail does.
