So would I - BUT --> ONLY FOR emails between yourself
an another person, NOT a technical email list.

The appropriate solution has already been settled on, and has been in
place for 30 years, as seen in the RFC above.

Keep in mind that technical emails lists are different than one 
to one email dialogs and affect hundreds (and sometimes K's) of
other people every time you send an email.  Top posting to
a technical email list is very very bad form.

Of course, so is failing to trim the email! :-)
