This is the same thing I do at work. Outlook is really only good for top posting (a single example of its exceedingly high number of problems) and since everybody else uses that, I have to conform. Which is fine. But I had a co-worker who insisted on bottom posting regardless and that caused no end of confusion about who had said what and where the replies were.
