Dark side? No, it is there for a reason. You are supposed to trim the 
quote and that is easier if you start at the top going down and deleting 
stuff that isn't important for your reply. And you are supposed to reply 
inline, not below the entire quote. If the cursor was at the bottom, 
you'd be too lazy to first move back up.

Yes, I know where it is but I won't tell you because you are supposed to 
trim your messages. :)

OK, I'll tell you anyway: Go to "Settings" -> "Configure Kmail…" -> "E-
Mail-Editor" (or is that "Composer"?) -> "Standard Templates". Click on 
the vertical tab (or whatever it is called) "Reply to All / Reply to 
List" and move the "%CURSOR" to the end.
