:-) 

For some reason this always seems to be a massive bone of contention to
a whole load of people!  Largely those who prefer one way over the other
don't seem to recognise that the other bunch also have a valid reason
for their preference and the religious wars continue...


However! I found a useful plugin for Thunderbird (which I see you don't
use, but still).  It's called Quote Collapse and basically it does what
you might imagine, the indented bits of messages get collapsed to just
their first line (for context) and you get a +/- button to expand if you
need to read the rest of the context. Personally for me this makes
bottom posting readable in general and top posting is fine, and my
preference then becomes "interleaved" because it looks quite pretty with
the collapsed quoting...

Actually, email clients also get religious, but despite it's other
deficiencies I find Thunderbird with the following plugins helpful:

- Country Lookup - shows which country the email was sent from (great
for customer support)
- Display Mail User Agent - shows the mail client used (great for
customer support)
- Quote Collapse (as above)
- Coloured Diffs - pretty printing for code diffs found in emails
- Sieve - Minimal sieve rule editing

Perhaps this is enough to tempt you from Mac Mail?
