Setting it one way doesn't please everyone. Business associates are
going to expect top posted quick replies where they'll remember their
part of the conversation and the bottom part is just history in the
unlikely case someone wants to review it - and attachments, color, etc.,
are common and desirable. Mailing lists will have many readers coming
into the middle of a conversation who will want to follow the context of
questions/responses in a message from the top down with appropriate
quoting levels so you can start at the last response and understand a
solved problem without having to wade through all of the individual
messages - this is especially true for list archives, but also for
people who have a lot of list email and work backwards when reading it.
  And attachments/colors/fonts don't work well on lists due to the wide
variety of readers and archiving tools.
