Forget outlook, the poster underestimated his response. Its email
period, any program, not just outlook. Top posting is the standard
method in emailing.
People top post in email literally 99.9%% of the time. Im not sure I
have ever seen one person bottom post in an email at all. And lets see
how does email compare to newsgroup/message boards? Hmm, theres about
10,000 times more emailing going on at any given point then posting.
So people are much, much, much, much, much more accustomed to top
posting and this incessant complaining about top posting is one of the
dumbest things that wont go away. Give it up.
