Top-posting makes the list archives un-readable.  Top-posting to a 
mailing list is like dumping excrement in our homes; if you do it, 
you'll likely not be happy with the response.
Some MUAs, such as Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express, 
encourage top-posting by their default configuration, or even make it 
needlessly difficult to quote correctly.  If you use one of these broken 
MUAs and must continue to use it, the following free add-ons can 
apparently fix them for you:

  Outlook Express: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/
  Outlook: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/
