Alex Schroeder  talks about  email posting styles  [0]. I  have used
mutt for  years and in the  past bottom-posted. Now I  usually don't
bother, since  no one else does.  If I am conversing  with someone I
_know_ will  bottom-post, that is  fine, I  do it. Those  people are
rare.

But I do  like his suggestion of starting with  a blank email reply,
and adding context by paraphrasing. It's more work for both parties,
but seems  worthwhile if you  can get the  person or persons  on the
other end to  follow suit. It's interesting that this  very style of
replying to  phlog posts is similar.  Start with an empty  post, add
context and links manually as needed.

Speaking of email,  I finally was able to get  Micro$oft to lift the
block on my mail server IP  [1], only to have it mysteriously appear
a few  weeks later.  It's a never-ending  battle, and  their support
never did tell me why the original block was there to begin with.
