Hi vimmers:

Slightly Off-topic, but I'm still wondering why bottom-posting is prefered
on Vim Mainling List.

As far as I know, most e-mail clients defaults to top-posting (i.e. replied
message shows before the original message),

So far I have only met one e-mail client that forces the user to top-post. Its use leads to page long full quotes even after a few iterations. Since you top-post, you never see what has already accumulated.

and I personally feel
top-posting much much easier to read than bottom-posting.

This only works for the "One question, one answer" type of mails.

Even in this short answer there are two statements to which I reply. And I don't even answer your original question, since you got sufficient replies already.

And now the same as a top-post for comparison:
