[ut3] linux client

[Sir Brizz]

I prefer emails at the top, mostly because emails tend to be quite a bit 
more lengthy than things like forum posts.

It's really hard to say though. I just find that, unless you're 
responding to specific points, since emails are not typically in list 
view in an email program, it makes more sense to have what you want to 
say at the top.

What I mean by that is, often email clients will include everything 
everyone before you said as opposed to just the person you are 
responding to. Additionally, you click to view each response instead of 
scrolling through/paging them. I personally wish there was a Thunderbird 
extension or something to make the whole experience more Gmail like, 
because I find that their conversation sorting/viewing process is a much 
more consistent and smooth flow.... but oh well :)
