Trimming quoted text is obviously a good idea.

With regard to top-posting versus bottom-posting: I have seen 
discussions about this on other mailing lists, for example most 
recently at 
<http://webaim.org/discussion/mail_thread?thread=4827&id=18223#18223>. 
Jared Smith of WebAIM wrote: "The debate over top-posting vs. 
bottom-posting will never be resolved." And that reflects the outcome 
of other discussions on this topic.

Best regards,

Christophe
