I don't want people to tell me how I should write emails.... so... I don't tell them how they should write theirs.
I prefer bottom posting because I can get to the reply knowing at least some of what people are replying to.
In my view, the best way is to bottom post to a snippet or intertwined replying, this for me represents the pinnacle of respect and efficiency; respect for the readers time and efficiency by grouping concepts so that they are easy to comprehend.
As I said... I don't think this should be enforced... it is a matter of manners.
