Once again, I strongly doubt that this is being caused by the server. 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.

I was under the impression that they gave you a free (and very effective)
email service. However this is OT for the list so let's just leave it at
that. 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.
