If this is anything like the email formatting issues I see at work,
the biggest problem may be emails being sent from mobile phones. They
don't always give you option of top-posting or bottom-posting, HTML or
plain text, etc, nor do they even make it clear which options you are
defaulting to. Even worse is that I know of at least one mobile phone
OS that has a bug that can cause quoted text in nested replies to lose
the "so-and-so wrote" line, making it (and all replies/quotes beneath
it) appear like they are part of a different person's message.
