Problem!

[Billy Pollifrone]

This is a big issue in the email world as far as ettiquite. Half say top
post and half say bottom. To answer your question, yes. There are quite a
few that top post. My webmail in fact will show the entire previous message
(no matter how long of a novel it is) if someone bottom posts, but will only
show a few lines if top posted and put "-show quoted text link-"

I can't say there is an easy answer either. It used to be a big debate over
HTML vs Text based emails with many complaining that they couldn't read the
HTML. It didn't stop the trend to go to HTML as most of the email clients
now send it that way by default.
