: I don't think top posting is the "default" of any news/mail reader.

   There actually is one that I know of - Lotus Notes. Man do I hate
that program! I am forced to use it for some stuff I have to do at the
local college here. When you reply, it top posts, and the only way to
bottom post is to try to copy the entire post, preferably without all
the graphical header and such, then paste it into a new message, try
to indent it somehow, etc. As easy as copy and paste sounds, it
actually isn't in this program - really hard to select just the message.

  I pity anyone who has to read their DML mail with that program!
They'd probably be better off just gettting a free yahoo mail account
and reading it via the web!
