If you go to the bottom of this email you will see that your contribution is not "quoted" as such, and - especially if the same font were used - you can't really tell without paying really close attention to the "--" where the exchange starts.<br>

It's much more likely to be caused by your email client, which I see is the Zimbra web client. Someone else already explained how to change your settings to get bottom-posting. You can no doubt also use alternative clients on the same email server.<br>

My point is that your adhesion to the list guidelines is not dependent on which server you use. In particular, you should avoid top-posting and posting in HTML. The guidelines are mentioned at the foot of every message on this list.<br>
