This issue is a hardy perennial. There seem to be two worlds: one that maintains the original and ancient traditions of the early internet, and puts replies (preferably only plain text) below the original post; and one - containing the majority of the commercial, business and government world - that follows conventions introduced by Microsoft, and replies in HTML above the original.

Here, we are hard-core traditionalists: plain text replies below original. We sometimes have to remind people to do it.

There is, of course, no right answer - these are the conventions and traditions of different cultures. Anyway, when in France, be polite and speak French! ;)
