Outlook should allow bottom-posting (response below message)

[Guest]

Currently Outlook only allows for top-posting where the signature and
text-entry cursor is located above the quoted text in a reply. An option to
have quoted text appear first would be nice.

Hey, thanks! That seems very promising. I still think it could be a
checkbox.

There are those of us who prefer top-posting, especially for those times
when you have to scroll through 3 pages to find "ME TOO!" as the response.

Frankly, if I see bottom posted messages here and other news groups I
browse, I tend to skip them. Too much bother reading the same information
over and over again to get to the actual meat.

Well yes but that (massive quoting) is just poor netiquette. I find proper
usage brings comments in context, especially in a group one doesn't frequent,
or if one reads many message boards/e-mails per day. I'm gathering this is
more of a newsgroup than a Microsoft suggestion box (which was the link I
followed)? Now that I've started it let me try to stop a flame war from
starting - it was a product suggestion, that's all.
