I've had this discussion a few times with different mailing lists and 
opinions vary quite considerably sometime to arguments :-/

I personally try to bottom post when possible and Thunderbird does this 
automatically (including trimming) when you use the reply to mailing 
list option.

However I find this to be a legacy thing and personally I either use the 
thread function of Thunderbird or go to the web based archive system 
when I want to read an entire thread.

So for me, I'm not bothered and will just set my client to comply with 
this list's preference.

Kind Regards,
