GMail doesn’t seem to have an option (that I can find) to leave no space at the top and put my cursor at the bottom; it nudges pretty firmly in the direction of top-posting.

So I think that means either drop the source column entirely, or show single-line source values only and nothing or a placeholder for anything that is more than one line, unless somebody comes up with another suggestion. Originally I was thinking just to remove entirely, but I’ve seen a couple of comments suggesting that people would find it unfortunate if the source weren’t shown for internal/C functions, so now I’m leaning towards showing single-line values only. I agree that showing the first line or couple of lines isn't likely to be very useful. The way I format my functions, the first line is always blank anyway: I write the bodies like this: $$ BEGIN … END; $$; Even if somebody uses a different style, the first line is probably just "BEGIN" or something equally formulaic.
