Hello. The default for Nettamer is bottom posting which I personally hate.
MS Outlook and Pine top post. I usually ignore bottom posted messages from
this list because I don't want to reread the old information. A couple of
years back this was also an issue.
I also use speech and it is definitely easier to read the response first. I
have used many different mail clients at work and in all cases the reply is
on top. It must be a difference between business and news group usage.
Nettamer requires the user to go to the top of the message to put the reply
on top. I always do this because I prefer this method.
