Yeah, and it's an M$ innovation I *really* dislike. I've had disagreements
with my wife about that. What was it, Lookout, er Outlook '08 that did
that?
The *real* issue is that the way email traditionally was, with bottom
posting, or intercollation, made it *readable*, and esp. if you come into
a thread late, you could figure out what was going on.
I don't know of any written language on the planet that reads from the
bottom up... and if *anyone* doesn't top post, like a lot of us, it makes
it unreadable (up, down, up, down, down, up....)... which is why the
generally-agreed convention on every mailing list I'm on is traditional
format.
