There is one benefit of top posting that some people find useful, on some mobile devices it is configured as default to download only the first 10 lines of a message, same deal with some email to sms services. HTML email is not welcome in this context as all you see is the tags occupying the first dozen or so rows before you get any context and bottom posting also tends to lose anything useful.
