Sorry for the top post, Outlook defaults strike again.....
Outlook forces you to write above ? :-)
Perhaps I should say instead that it "strongly encourages" top posting, and all our internal emails follow that convention.
It's habit-forming.... :-)

Yeah, and it's an M$ innovation I *really* dislike. I've had disagreements with my wife about that. What was it, Lookout, er Outlook '08 that did that?
The *real* issue is that the way email traditionally was, with bottom posting, or intercollation, made it *readable*, and esp. if you come into a thread late, you could figure out what was going on.
I don't know of any written language on the planet that reads from the bottom up... and if *anyone* doesn't top post, like a lot of us, it makes it unreadable (up, down, up, down, down, up....)... which is why the generally-agreed convention on every mailing list I'm on is traditional format.
