Of course, if you use a mail client that's capable of quoting correctly,
it all works beautifully.

You can then also reply to another point here like this: it's as much
about trimming previous posts as about not top posting. New posts should
include just enough context to ensure the message isn't meaningless, but
not quoting a 20+ line irrelevance. That way you see both the question
and the answer without scrolling.
Whilst we're on the subject of mailing lists, I'd like to add my
personal pet rant: MTAs that don't add/honour In-Reply-To headers.
Completely breaks threaded readers.
That is all :-)
Kind regards,
Chris
