Actually, what they're most likely saying is, "I'm using Evolution,
Gmail, Outlook, or some other MUA that defaults to top posting."  In
the spirit of ubuntu, we should embrace these folks into the Linux
community and be as helpful as possible.  And I don't mean that
facetiously in the least.  That philosophy is a large part of what
attracted me to Ubuntu in the first place.
