I respectfully submit that, if that's the case, the device or email
software sucks and needs to be replaced.

I myself am using Thunderbird. It takes just two or three seconds'
worth of effort to properly format a reply, trimming all the "you wrote"
lines, remove blank lines, etc. There's little excuse for not doing so.
In a forum where it's very likely that the only thing people will ever
know about you is what you type and how you type it, these things are
important.

(Not "you" specifically of course, Bill, you're well-spoken and
well-typed...others, not so much.)

To do bottom-posting on most recent webmail interfaces (including gmail, which I use), you need to do some editing. Not a big deal, but I assume that most don't think about it.

I wish that it would re-become automatic, as that would make things much easier, as it used to be.
