Agreed. However, for me personally, trimming using my desktop client
(exmh2) is simple. If I'm replying using my phone (K-9 mail), trimming is
so time consuming and error prone (one wrong finger movement and you start
over again, especially while riding the bus to work -- one bump in the road
and I'm guaranteed starting over again) that it's next to impossible. As
much as I dislike it, top posting might be more acceptable in those
circumstances.
Otherwise agreed.
