It's not really a complaint from me, I was just explaining Mark's 
comment. When I was working (now semi-retired) it did drive me nuts 
because with 200-300 emails a day it added significant extra effort.
Nowadays I rarely get more than 100 messages in a day so I've time to
browse if needed.

Sadly that's the way many newer mail tools are going.
Customisation in terms of colouring, fonts etc but not
in actual functionality.

Obviously not, or top posting wouldn't be so popular. But it tends to 
only work well when the thread is active and you can recall the gist of 
the content quickly. It's not so easy on messages that are a year or two 
old, as in list archives.
