From what I understand, top posting is generally preferred for
general business communication. The problem with bottom posting is
that one must scroll done to see the answer and there is a tendency
to edit the text, which may be unacceptable in court.

Bullcrap. All you have to do is provide the original *series* of emails,
in successive order, as they were exchanged.

Do you have any idea how trivial it is to edit the contents of an email?

When viewing edited text one could claim the editing changed the
meaning of the original if involved in a law suit - a very nasty
legal issue.

I disagree - proper editing - as long as you don't actually change the
*quoted* text, and only trim out irrelevant and unnecessary text - can
actually make communication *clearer* and more concise, and *less* prone
to confusion, error or misunderstanding.
