Even better, I recommend you dump Outlook, and find a decent mailer,
like Eudora or Pegasus....even money can't be the problem, since both
are free, unlike Outlook....
The Net was born without Gates, but he sure has done a lot to kill
it, ranging from winmail.dat/RTF/v-card and HTML-crap in mail & news
to this inverse quoting order. So forgive me if I don't care one
little bit about what Mr. Gates thinks of how mail should look
like....he wouldn't recognize a efficient message even
if he stepped on it....;-((

If you don't need to reread it, then there is no reason to quote
the entire message either (one of the arguments in favor of of quote
on top, since that forces people to cut down quotes).
Below also a collection of messages that address this default
quote-order issue for several mailers:

If this is the case then why do email programs automatically start
the
message at the top when replying? I use netscape and it always puts
reply at top, is there a way to change this?

Microsoft has this, so does pine (I'm using it) and emacs. you just
don't
know how to do it. In pine, the option is called: "Signature at
bottom",
in emacs, I don't remember, but you have a somewhat similar option.

Please everyone, there is enough fighting in the world at the moment.
When we
agreed to join this list we did so by accepting the List Rules and
the accepted
method of adding to threads is to attach your comments at the bottom

May the Force be with you!

Most mail software isn't designed with mail lists in mind. For
simple
correspondance, reply first-quote second makes sense--You can
generally
assume the person you're replying to remembers what he e-mailed you
about. Even
here, though, reading the messages can get cumbersome when a long
series of
replies developes.
For an e-mail list, you're not replying just to one sender, but to
hundreds of
recipients, and it would not be reasonable to assume all of them know
what the
original message was.

Sure. On the tool bar click on EDIT, then click on PREFERENCES, then
MESSAGES. In the area called FORWARDING AND REPLYING you can select
where
your reply will be.
