Yeah, that's a problem with Outlook, it wants to force top-posting and
screw attribution so hard that it becomes harder to understand who wrote

Even if Outlook users plan to use top-posting, Outlook-QuoteFix is still
a good way to get rid of some problems with quoting and attribution

(Disclaimer: I didn't try this. My system is not even able to run
Outlook, let alone having it installed.)

what the general run of a thread has been, I don't need to see the
