I totally agree that the original message should be trimmed. As to where to
place the reply, I tend to follow the convention of the individual thread, such
that all the posts are at least in order, even if they are "upside down". For
e-mails, I tend to reply at the top, although I am aware this is technically
"wrong". Beyond 2 or 3 bottom-posted replies, you have to scroll to see the
reply, which is un-necessary for top-posts. 

Anyway, what does all this have to do with the Beeb? Is there an e-mail client
(or even a TCP/IP stack) for the Beeb? 

Tim.
