I find the top-posting kind of reply unbearable. However, I am afraid that you are on a lost cause -- the prevalent Outlook-induced email style is so ingrained in most younger people that it is hopeless. What I do is quickly skim such emails and discard 95% of them, relying on a decently indexed searchable public archive of the mailing lists, in the hope that I can find the thread again if I really need to.
