Yes, this is true, and I see that you fight more not for the bottom post, but for trimming the messages. I also don't like those who just send a message without trimming it at all, but they do that because it is more simple for them. If you don't care that's more simple for them, they might not care that you don't like that. And it is not easier to trim if I want to bottom post. My email client (Outlook Express) puts a lot of information at the top of the message automaticly, like: The signature, --- original message --- The From line - The to line - The date line - The subject line. And if I want to bottom post, I won't just need to hit control+End and start writing at the end of the message, but I will need to trim the beginning of the message and after that go and trim the end of the message also. > Check the headers of this email.

And Outlook Express doesn't allow the configurations you have ask for. I don't like those headers it puts there at the top and I also don't like that it doesn't allow too many configuration options, but unfortunately I don't have another solution .... a better email client, because most of them are very hard accessible for screen readers.
