I used to post to lists using ms outlook and it is a PITA, but I found
this: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
and all my pain went away*, it can automatically once you click reply
to a mail, switch it to plain text and fix the top posting problem,
Now I use gmail, which top posts by default!, although it properly
indents the mail you are replying to, so its easy to move the curser
to the bottom of the mail.
See, there is a solution (TM)
* except for my internal mails, when I bottom posted replys to mails
from managment, they got confused.
