Official 2.6.0 release (Yosemite support and various rewrites). Me, I use Gyaz e-Mail, a modernised clone of Eudora that is still actively developed, and it too bottom-posts … which is good, because GMail started marking emails with multiple-quoted (reply of a reply of a reply) content as spam, so I know all my emails will get through.

Because Steve never quoted in his emails, he never told the Mail team what they were doing was wrong, and now top-posting is still the default.

Mail 1.0 was a horrible app, and the team responsible for Mail 2.0 were ex-pats from Microsoft’s Mac Business Unit, who re-instated top-posting. Steve used Eudora, even when he was at NeXT, and NEVER included quoted content in an email reply this was evident in Apple Mail 1.0 which defaulted to not-quoting and bottom-posting if quoting enabled.
Prior to this, the most common Mac email program was Qualcomm Eudora which, since its inception in 1988, could ONLY do bottom-posting, even on the Windows version, and defaulted to NOT quoting email in a reply as it was considered superfluous – thread-tracking meant you could see the original message in the viewing pane above your new email.
#QUOTEFIX MAC FOR MAC#
The rot extended to Mac OS with ‘Office for Mac 98’ and its companion ‘Outlook Express for Mac’ soon became the de facto email client on our platform as well, and it too defaulted to top-posting. Of course, one could easily change to bottom-posting in the software’s settings, but most Windows users weren’t even aware settings existed, let alone know that the defaults were wrong, and with Windows machines becoming the dominant life-form on the internet, top-posting became commonplace.

Microsoft Outlook (and its free sibling Outlook Express that shipped with Windows 98) was obviously designed by aliens from another planet where time flows backwards to how it does on Earth, because it puts the response first and then provides the query. And for the earliest years of the internet’s life – going right back to the first email of 1971 – bottom-posting was the norm because it was used by humans who (quite correctly) ask a query before offering a response. When entering these details in the custom headers list, be sure to enter them as is (including the dashes), after which be sure that Custom is selected in the preferences and that the Details link is clicked in your e-mail messages.According to the Internet Standards Document RFC1855 from 1995 () email must always use bottom-posting. Header fields will be the text before colon characters with dashes in them in place of spaces, and may include items like "Delivered-to:" or "Return-Path:", or custom items like "X-Virus-Scanned:" for antivirus information. In the resulting window you will see all the message details in plain text. To do this, select a message in your inbox and then press Option-Command-U or choose "Raw Source" from the View > Message menu.

Therefore if you are not sure what the header titles are then you will need look them up in the raw source code for any particular message. Unfortunately you need to enter the field names manually, and many times e-mail services will append their own header details to a message, especially for handling spam or other security features. To alter the headers that Mail includes, you can go to the Viewing section of the Mail preferences, choose the Custom setting, and then add or remove any fields of the e-mail header that you wish to see. To customize the actual headers when viewing an email message, I'll quote this MacFixIt article: Unfortunately, you can't customize the Reply/Forward headers without the help of QuoteFix or ReplyWithHeader.
