How about we just dispense with top posting altogether?
I was about to ask the same question. What are the advantages of bottom posting? I can't fiugre them out to be honest. I use top posting daily everywhere other than TDE and I always find annoying having to scroll down to read a post in TDE. If there is a clear benefit for bottom posting, I will understand. But currently I am struggling to see the point of it.
Cheers Michele
Oops! My first message had instructions for setting a global template. To set a folder-specific template, do this:
If one is using kmail, one can create a custom template for the TDE mailing lists so that all posts going there default to bottom-posting. Right-click on the folder and select Properties. Click on the Templates tab. Click on Reply to All / Reply to List; type the following:
| %REM="Reply to TDE Lists template"%- | On %ODATEEN %OTIMELONGEN %OFROMNAME wrote: | %QUOTE | %CURSOR | | <Your Name> | --
Click on Reply to Sender and repeat. (Replace trailing EN if desired with a different language code, and <Your Name> as appropriate.)

Dumping the cursor at the bottom is an invitation to skip trimming, as is dumping it at the top. Once upon a time, I was dumping the cursor at the top. Eventually I realized I was jumping right back to the top to start trimming, and put it back to top. What might help is putting it at the top, before anything else, with the words "begin trimming from the top" or some such.

Good idea.
