Top-posting became popular due to bad defaults in mail clients like Outlook. Usenet newsgroups used inline styles. [1]

I love inline replies, but this Blackberry doesn't allow editing quoted text, I bet many other mobiles don't either.

A friendly request and reminder to all :-)

It's simple mailing-list etiquette.
Someone will call you on it if you don't do it - that's all.

Thanks everyone for participating !!
