There are plenty of hits if you search for 'top-posting', eg: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting http://www.idallen.com/topposting.html The second link has the key message: > Bottom-posting occurs when someone replies to your message by adding content > to the bottom of the message you sent, after trimming your original message > down to remove irrelevant header lines, signatures, and irrelevant quoted > context So, when you reply, click a button to show what has already been written (you might need to click a button to show that depending on your email client). Then delete stuff that isn't relevant, leaving a bit that you are replying to as context, and add your reply below those quoted bits (you can use a '>' to indicate a quote, '>>' a quote of a quote, etc). That way it's obvious which bits you are responding to in your reply. You may get further advice on this- top-posting questions tend to draw people (like me) out of the woodwork. Good luck!
