Bottom and inline posting are the preferred ways when writing to the SquirrelMail lists (and almost every FOSS related list I know of, both Usenet and mailing). The reasons for it are debated at several web pages (one of them being <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/usenet/brox.html>). Every community has rules, even though they might be more or less formal, and stating the rules could be considered an act of kindness (with the intent of preventing the rule breaker to embarrass himself/herself). A person who gets upset (or even "very, very upset") about being told when doing something wrong could, by some, be considered to have an attitude problem. It probably tells you more about the "very, very upset" people than about the FOSS community. Someone who wants to get along with the community would be thankful for being told about the community's etiquette. When asking for help it might be smart to do so in a way considered pleasant by the person providing the help.
