I'm still unsure why top posting has anything to do with Netiquette. Top posting is what a lot of people are comfortable with, and is a commonly accepted style. Its just an alternate way of doing things. Trying to say that its bad etiquette looks like an excuse to talk down to others and reinforce your own superiority.

Why not push you in the direction of a new email program? What features are becoming important in email programs these days? I know that for me the decision to move to gmail / the cloud was made once I'd had enough of the silliness of pine/eudora/mulberry/outlook/mutt/thunderbird madness. I have Apple Mail configured to read gmail on some of my computers, but for the most part I never use it. -- srs (blackberry)
