I dont agree with you.

There are many nuances as to why sometimes top posting is a better
choice, but, because this is really a personal preference that I
frequently see turn into a mean-spirited flame war, I won't bother to
enumerate them here and now.

Are you aware of any email software that can be configured to easily
deal with bottom posting (ie, when you hit reply, it places the cursor
at the bottom of the message rather than the top, and, while reading the
email, it skips the repeated top content and places the view screen
beginning at the first new content)?

I always figured that I should top AND bottom post. You decide if that
is so that everyone will be happy, or no one will be happy :-)


Thunderbird will start your reply at the bottom.  And I've seen others
with this option also.  But I've never seen any email program that
will go simply to the new content.  I'm not sure it would even be
possible, as a lot of where the new content in would depend on what
the writer/poster did.

I guess some programs will have an option to "collapse" quoted text. I
suggest searching in addons.mozilla.org for a thunderbird extension that
does that (I thought QuoteColors did it, but apparently it doesn't).

Other clients will do a pretty good job, like Claws-Mail, but I don't
know about collapsing quoted text.

As for Gnus, either it does have some way to collapse quoted text or you
hack it so that it does.
