Unfortunately, Red Hat's Zimbra-based webmail interface *only* supports 
top-posting.  This is not a limitation of Zimbra, because I've used it 
elsewhere, but it is a limitation of how RH chose to configure it.

There are also more than a few mobile clients which only support 
top-posting, and I'm pretty sure that includes all of the ones which 
work with RH's email servers.

So, while bottom-posting (and, for that matter, proper quoting) are 
clearly superior, we have to grit our teeth and live with not alwasy 
getting what we want.  The alternative is driving people away from the 
list because we're making them responsible for the deplorable state of 
email client technology.
