A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
Although it's become such a habit that I've had people say, you just sent me back an email with nothing added.
People blame it on MS, and Outlook, but no, it's simple laziness and sloppiness. Mutt puts the cursor at the top of an email too, and that's where it should go. Then, you can read and reply inline, like a conversation.
Well I find people get very upset about it, and to me in the grand scheme of things it seems pretty low on the totem pole.
I can deal with the top posting (we are required to do that at work because of our customers), but the "you sent me a blank email" crowd (some top posters such as my vet) does get to me.
