Being quite a newbie at this (having only done email and Fidonet since
1987 (mostly Fido, email not until 1991)) I'd say that historically
top-posting is a MEMO standard thingie, being done mostly by GUI users (ie
Microsoft/Mac prone) and email/Fidonet have always been bottom-posters (or
rather, actually quoting with > and commenting after each section of
text).
Top posting and leaving the whole email under what you wrote, I did not
see att all basically until Outlook and Eudora (and alike) started showing
up as email clients in the wider population.
