I guess it leaves the insertion cursor in blank space ABOVE the quoted original message text, (which is not anywhere you should ever place any part of your response), but how could it possibly know where you should be breaking into that original text, for a properly placed in-context, in-line response? I don't think I would go so far as to call that top cursor placement "encouragement" for top posting, any more than Thunderbird's default bottom placement is encouragement for (equally bad) bottom posting; maybe "facilitates", rather than "encourages". The reality is that failure to move the cursor to an appropriate point, for insertion of your response, and failure to prune contextually irrelevant cruft out of the quoted original text, are symptomatic of careless laziness. - -- Regards, Keith.
