I may be in the minority, Rob, but the natural order for English has been 
from top to bottom for as long as I have read books, magazine, newspapers, 
reports, written letters or diaries etc.  It seems completely unnatural 
and illogical to me to have the answer before the question!  I agree that 
it may be the fault of some mail readers that top-posting has started, and 
people failing to trim older parts of the message, and failing to scroll 
down before they place their replies.

However, likely this is well off-topic, so I'll stop there.

PS: I don't do HTML e-mail either!

Cheers,
David
