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?
