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.
