Umm, what about positioning the cursor below the previous post before 
writing your reply in outlook, I used to do it all the time when forced 
to use outlook by company policy or such. Click on scroll bar drag -> to 
bottom of reply -> click in message body, about a half seconds time, 
maybe a full second if you choose to move slowly. Admittedly though it 
has been a few versions since I have been forced to use Outlook, I 
currently use Thunderbird for mail and can set it to start my reply on 
top or at the bottom.
