I will respect your wishes about posting at the bottom. I live in the
US. I do a lot of work e-mails in my job, and receive a lot of work
e-mails. I never receive any e-mails where people reply to me at the
bottom. The reply is always at the top. I never understood why
Thunderbird had the default to reply at the bottom when Thunderbird
came out. It was backwards!!!!!! So I have always changed the default
on every system I've installed it on. Maybe there are different
customs in different countries.
Work emails are a bit different to technical mailing lists.
In a technical mailing list like this there may be an original question
followed by several replies followed by more questions etc etc and if
you top post as default then A) the thread of the discussion gets
completely messed up and b) do you read a book from the bottom up?
e.g.
A: Because the thread gets out of sequence
Q: Why top post?
