Hi,

A lot of mail readers like mutt and pine does not like HTML 
messages, at least not by default.  I never send HTML, you 
are right, not many people will say they can't read my plain 
text email.

But choice of mail readers will not help him switch between 
top posting and not top posting.  As long as the mail reader 
allows you to do something besides top posting.
