actually yes... those that happen to be using MS Lookout or Lookout 
Xpress have no way of configuring their client to bottom post - that 
must be done manaully. I've done some research on this and found that to 
the message almost each time I've come across a top-posted reply the 
sender is using one of the two afore mentioned M$ email clients. Hotmail 
does the same thing. not sure about Yahoo webmail.
