I agree. I am using a known-broken email client (gmail) for very
specific reasons. Despite that, I simply _move_the_cursor_down_ and
then I don't have to top post.

Users can use whatever email client they choose. Logically, the users
would choose an email client that provides the features needed to
communicate effectively.
