It's just that when you hit "reply", the curser for typing lands here at
this spot. Also when the recipient gets the reply it is the first thing at
the top of the page. I've missed bottom dwelling msg replies plenty of
times wondering why there was a reply with no words. Email has changed a
lot of pre-conceptions on correspondence and I bet if you asked Emily Post
or Heloise, top or bottom replies on email are probably both correct.
Certainly at my work which often involves a big stringer of messages back
and forth with everyone's 2cents, we've learned to read from the bottom up.

I sometimes do (but not this time). It's actually very appropriate to put
the "answer" first when one is trying to get the reader's attention with the
solution to a problem. Often, people with lives put lengthy e-mail messages
on the back burner. C'mon, Paul. Jenn comes up with an elegant way for SAC
to solve an EVAC problem, and you're more concerned about syntax.
If I may stoop to your level of pedantry for just a moment, the question
mark in your sentence really confused me, since it was clearly not
interrogative.
Tom?
