It's singularly amazing how much spare time these anal retentive types
are about simple email that is easy enough for a human of average
intelligence to figure out, read, and deal with.

The only "right way" to format email involves making a simple effort
not to obfuscate.

If course, it's more fun to demand machine perfect email formatting
and waste time bitching about it like a bunch of crotchety old men
babbling about their lumbago because they have nothing else to do.

Meanwhile they're wasting more time on perfect formatting than they
save if the email is perfectly formatted.

It's not ok very often, but never say never. :)

When somebody "me too!"s - and there are good reasons to do that,
sometimes - there's really no harm in the response being on top. In
fact, I think it's better put it on top than to pedantically follow
the post-at-the-bottom rule without understanding why and when it's
worth following.

It's true that top posting can be pretty inconvenient to people who
use archaic mailers [0], but I'd argue that those archaic mailers are
pretty inconvenient anyway.

On the other hand, mails with lines of more than 80 characters (except
when they include literal output) have no excuse. :)

[0] The official definition of an archaic mailer, that I'm making up
as I write this, is one that doesn't thread mails.
