Top or bottom?

I just had a brief email exchange with someone about the merits (or otherwise) of top-posting. The difference of opinion was such that I thought maybe I was going mad it would be a good idea to do a quick vox pop among you lot. So here goes!

What that gentleman said.

Unfortunately with work we use Lotus Notes which is horrid in that respect, and makes a big mess of everything.

One can fix Notes to work the "right" way, but it takes some fiddling with templates etc etc (and it probably helps if you're the one running the server)

I think most mail client software is these days. As soon as the cursor by default appears at the top instead of at the bottom, your average user isn't gong to move it.

which is horrid in that respect

Herald webmail is special. It puts the cursor at the top when replying, but at the bottom below the sig when composing a new message.

Actually I'm wrong. It's bottom every time, but below the sig. I'm so used to pressing page up when emailing that I'd forgotten it put the cursor at the bottom!
