Most of the popular email clients leave the cursor at the start of the quoted passage so that you can then _go_ _down_ and reply to the points you want to refer to and _delete_ the others. That is the point of not leaving the cursor at the bottom in the first place: you are not supposed to keep everything quoted that isn't relevant. The work of creating your reply to the salient points and remove the others starts at the top. -- David Kastrup
