I hate to sound flamer but, inline posting is the correct form to answer an e-mail. The simplest argument is: A: Because it messes natural reading. Q: Why? A: Top posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing when reading an e-mail? Reading a top posted thread is a mess! The real question for me is why most people out of FLOSS communities top post. But I think the answer is simple: most e-mail client position the cursor on the top of the answer with quoted text under it.
