It always makes list discussion difficult to read... bottom posting and 
snipping irrelevant material makes for clean, simple, intelligible threads.

Well, since I've never met a mail client that completely configures 
itself, you have to make up for this with, complete, clear and concise 
written user instructions... then be prepared to deal with the ones who 
will simply refuse to read and/or comprehend what you took such pains to 
write up for them.

Understandable... but as you pointed out, that isn't a dovecot 
issue/problem... ;)

And I hope you weren't offended by my short/to the point reply - none 
was intended...
