    i would add blame to Outlook and Gmail being predominant “client” that seem to push top-post replies versus the obviously superior-for-reading-flow bottom-posting.

    i try to plain text reply as often as I can but having the ability to embolden important text is too beneficial

      yes, i addressed that in another reply. personally, for emphasizing things in plaintext, i use **Markdown**, which is actually pretty much universally understood.

        The worst is when markdown is automatically converted into rich text.

        automatically

        *automatically* … there we go.
