If you look at the reply template, it says:
%QUOTES
%CURSOR
and so it quotes the message first, then places the cursor after the
quote.
You could simply reverse these 2 and have your comments come before
the cursor BUT I believe this is one of those areas in which opinions
are divided and strong. Others on the list have more knowledge and
stronger views than me, but in summary, some people don't like the
comment first.
My preferred method (about which I'm not a zealot, nor indeed
especially scrupulous in practice) is to place my comments at the end
of short messages, and to intersperse comments on individual points in
longer messages thus:
Point A
Comment on A
Point B
Comment on B
and so on.
Of course (he said mischievously), you could reverse the quote and
comment in non-Bat list messages (by using folder templates), but
leave it as it is for messages to the Bat lists. That way, no-one here
would know about your wickedness!
