The best response to the issue of Outlook and top-posting I've seen recently 
was on the London Perlmongers mailing list - although I should warn that some

"The last I checked, cursor keys worked in Outlook just fine without any
third-party hacks, so there is no reason for top-posting just because the
cursor happens to be there. It's a bit like crapping in your pants because
that's where your arse happens to be." -- Peter Corlett, london.pm
