Why top-posting is bad

[Charles Oppermann]

>>
   Most people are used to email in the corporate context and thus
   used to top-posting.

That's a valid point that's not appreciated on either side of the argument.

2. Microsoft Outlook, which unfortunately a lot of people use, doesn't
   encourage quoting in-text: the "original message" isn't set off by
   ">" marks or anything else to indicate it wasn't something you
   wrote. (Perhaps this is a user-settable option, I don't know.)
<<

It is a user-option in the Tools menu, Options, E-mail Options, reply and
forwarding section.
