89 Top posting refers to adding your reply to an email above the quoted
90 text from what you're replying to. Bottom posting is the standard on
91 many mailing lists because it allows a more natural flow of
92 conversation to progress down the set of nested replies, so context is
93 provided before the response being given. That preference, along with
94 a preference for plain-text rather than HTML mail, is generally
95 overlooked when a particular mail client is incapable of one or the
96 other (common on phone-based clients, primarily).
