As far as I know, most e-mail clients defaults to top-posting

some email clients have an option. But it does not help much.
Top-vs-bottom depends on the specific mailing list.
If I am on mailing list X which has convention of bottom-posting
and also on mailing list Y which has convention of top-posting,
then single option in mail client is not much helpful. gmail doesn't
have this option at all, but I dont feel invonvenienced.

Some mailers, such as Thunderbird which I use, have a thing named "identities": I can set one or more identities for a each mail or news account, and quoting preference (quote or not, and put the cursor above or below the quote) is among the options I can set for each identity.

Of course, webmail accounts use browsers, not email clients, which means the webmail provider makes its own rules and the customer has no choice of interface.

(As you can guess, I don't like webmail.)


Best regards,
Tony.
