Did you read what you wrote?  Are you seriously suggesting that top  
posting is the way to go for SOME people on SOME devices?

Email to SMS is not relevant. Anyone who signs up to a mailing list on  
such a gateway gets what they paid (through the a$$) for.

HTML email is not welcome in this context as all you see is the tags
occupying the first dozen or so rows before you get any context and
bottom posting also tends to lose anything useful.

I'm replying from a mobile device and inline PGP sigs annoy me more  
than HTML. Same would have been true on my previous phone.

That's not to say I'm going to start posting in HTML because, well,  
that'd be rude.

Just like top posting is.
