Some people prefer to start their cursor at the top of the message in order to facilitate moving down through the message and trimming the quotes before typing replies contextually. Also known as inline, interspersed and interleaved posting, this does not always put your entire reply beneath all of the quoted material, because if you are replying to multiple paragraphs, each section of the reply would be beneath the quote of the paragraph to which it is responding. Traditional netiquette (especially on Usenet and mailing lists) is to reply contextually beneath quoted material, trimming down the quotes to the minimum needed to establish context. You can use the Config Editor at Tools -> Options -> General to set it to 1 to have the reply on top. It defaults to 0, to have the reply at the bottom. The _on_top preference sets the default value for the reply text position for each account/identity. Note that if the signature is placed above a quoted message, the separator line ("- ") is not used, as this would cause some mail clients to strip off everything below it upon replying. There is also an option to choose whether signature blocks should go at the very bottom of the message (the default), or directly beneath a top-posted response (above the quoted material). Using the drop-down list on the right, choose the reply position you want to use and click "OK". Go to "Tools -> Account Settings", and then for the account you want to change select "Composition & Addressing". This can be set differently for each account. When replying to messages, you may want your reply text to appear above (also known as top posting) or below the quoted text by default. The indicated account does use the same e-mail address as the default account.(Redirected from Thunderbird : FAQs : Reply Position) This article was written for Thunderbird but also applies to Mozilla Suite / SeaMonkey (though some menu sequences may differ).
