I'm posting from my phone so I can't bottom post, but I believe this thread has gone on way to long. Lets drop it and get back to what this mailing list is all about. I would rather read posts about the same technical things over and over again that have been asked hundreds of times. But when questions like that get asked, alot of times people reply by saying "search the archives" or have you searched google yet. Where as the top/bottom posting question I believe should be answered with the search the archives or search google answer.
This is just my 2 cents. Now back to your regularly scheduled questions.

Top posting ALWAYS makes sense when the poster has included nearly 200 lines of redundant and time-wasting waffle from previous posters.
False argument.

I can say that the usability of the mail application for such a goal doesn't support it in the way to accomplishing it in an efficient manner, but you can do it - it is not a nature law that is preventing you in doing it.
Further more - the majority of bottom postings use (unconsciously) the design law of nearness, means the answer implies a context and such text context (e.g. inline) is important for the comprehension of the discussion.
IMO most facts shows us that "bottom posting style" is on the long term a win for all actors.
