I would prefer people to top post, that is write their message on top of the
e-mail.
A lot of the messages is only important to certain people.
It would be more convenient, with the text on top, so the messages can be read
(skimmed) more quickly - that is you do not need to open each message and
scroll through the whole message :-)

No - it's not. LKML is a relatively high volume this - this isn't.

Oh, not again. This has been done to death for years... Cue endless
debate about top/bottom/inline replies, which will result in no
changes to peoples posting habits.
I for one, would welcome the trimming of shite from posts, but it'll
never happen - some people just won't do it... (and I'm looking at you
Larsen).

Please read the Mailling List Etiquette, particularly the section on quoting:
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists/etiquette#head-c70bc55ce24849bd82885e8b0f7e972465944b5a>
You may find it useful to enable message threading in kmail.
For instructions on how to do this consult the kmail manual or see this page:
<http://email.about.com/cs/kmailtips/qt/et012804.htm>
I don't use kmail so I can't vouch for the accuracy of the above instructions.

With a bit of work, you might reach the level that Robin Socha did on
the qmail list.

well...Robin Socha was usually dead on on whatever he had to say. Just
that he added plenty of spice. Just wondered if you would like to attain
his level. :-P

I would prefer people to correctly quote emails.

Obviously.

Top post tends to generate bigger messages.
