I'm going to have to push back a bit at the no top posting with the
same reasoning as described here:
https://lopsa.org/content/top-posting-vs-bottom-posting-stop-tilting-windmills.

Especially since most mobile mail clients top-post, it's going to be
difficult to get this one to stick.

I personally prefer it so that I don't have to scroll past hundreds of lines of:

"You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google
Groups "Puppet Users" group.

To unsubscribe from this group, send email to
puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
For more options, visit this group at
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en.";

If you're directly responding to something non-obvious, I do think
that copying the relevant material up is nice but that you shouldn't
lose the rest of the conversation for those poor folks who may be
using Mutt as their primary mail reader (or some other non-threading
reader).

My $.02

Thanks,

Trevor
