Why I Am Switching to Interleaved Email Replies and Why You Should Too

Ben Brooks, about replies in emails, makes a good point:

We read from top to bottom on computers, which leads most people to say it is more helpful to read the question first, then to see the answer first. This is all rather logical — we need the context before the content. (…) Except, apparently, when we deal with email.

If only Gmail was more flexible, I would probably use Interleaved Reply instead of Top Posting.
