People who top post actually bother you? Is the other way around for me, and several people I know. I always just figured people who bottom posted were too lazy to go back to the top of the mail. Who'd a thunk? HTML, on the other hand, is just not quite right. Sad thing is, in a support role, you have to try and read it, because a percentage of your users aren't quite clueful enough to turn it off. At a large company that I used to work for(a maker of a very popular email program(begins with E) the sysadmins talked to the dev folks into shipping the internal product with Plain Text set instead of HTML.
