Reply message automatically starts on the bottom, can I set up to start it on the top of the conversation?

[Z]

Every time when I reply a message, Reply text automatically starts on
the bottom of the email, while I'd like it to automatically jump to to
top of the page and not the bottom... Where can I set that up please?

Thanks,

Z.

For these newsgroups, replying at the bottom is preferred; and in general, it
has the advantage of preserving the natural sequence of the conversation, not
as in:

Because you see the reply before the question.
Why is top-posting bad?

You can, however, customize it, separately for each mail or news account, in
the "Composition & Addressing" part of the settings for the concerned account.
(As I said, please don't change it for the news.mozilla.org account, so you'll
go on using bottom-posting for this account at least.)

Best regards,
Tony.

Note that some newsgroups outside of news.mozzila.org actually prefer
top-posting. I generally bottom-post for newsgroups and top-post for
E-mail replies.
