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:

Click on Reply to Sender and repeat.
(Replace trailing EN if desired with a different language code, and <Your
Name> as appropriate.)

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

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.
