Top-posting on email lists is actually fine, unlike on Usenet. I would hate
to see bottom-posting become the rule in email threads.
The reason? More and more users are reading email on handheld gadgets
(Blackberries, iPhones, and devices with even smaller screens), and
top-posting can save the reader a lot of unnecessary scrolling.
The rest of your advice is spot-on IMHO.
