Sometimes our hands are forced by situation beyond our control ;)

Now you're ribbing me :P

That said, yeah Gmail's Java Mobile client sucks when it comes to top-posting: Click Reply (or, in my case, choose 'Reply' from the menu), and I'm given an *empty* textbox to write my reply, which *will* be top-posted. And I totally have no say in that.

(And it sucks royally that midway through writing a reply, I'd forget what exactly was written in the email I'm replying through, necessitating a 'Save Draft', back to reading the email, then 'Resume Draft').

But now I've pulled my emails to my E72-1's native email client, and I can now properly bottom-post, with a caveat: I have to manually insert the '>' to indicate the quoted original email.

Oh well.

It depends on the mail-to-usenet gateway, methinks.

We're using Gentoo, so we all can't be normal ;)
