Thanks :).

But some people like top posting, like me. I think that with top
posting the new message is easier to read than, when it's below the quote.

I know that this can be configured in client and I have set Icedove to
use top posting and K9 Mail does it by default, if I recall correctly.

With phones, it's easier to follow top posting in my opinion.

There are many kinds of people, so everyone has different opinion
about top/bottom posting :)

That's up to you. And to me ;-)

You can use whatever you prefer unless there's some recommendation in
this list for that regard. I still prefer the bottom posting style for
threading messages (like these on mailing lists) and so I say when
someone sends it otherwise. I like keeping the good manners.

I usually read/post from my phone. I'm going to have to strongly
disagree with that. Top posting makes it that much harder to properly
edit a reply for on a mobile device, which due to the small size,
already is hard enough.

Sure, but posting everything at one end or the other is usually not
the right answer. Newer material above older material just doesn't
work; people don't read in random order.

I don't post/read from my phone very much, but I agree.

I have never understood why though, aside from people getting
used it due to Outlook and some others horrible defaults...

Exactly.

So people should edit those quotes and put what they think inside
them, like Kelly just did?

It probably depends on how email client on phone shows inline.

Debian list policy / code of conduct is NOT to top post. Please respect it.

Can you link me to Debian list policy / code of conduct? I think that
I might have missed that part.
