I use Thunderbird as my primary mail program. I haven't even looked at Outlook since I started using Thunderbird. When I reply to a message it starts my reply at the bottom of the page, under the previous message. How can I get it to start my reply at the top of the message? Any ideas? I'm sure that there is an easy way to do it, I just haven't found it yet.

Thanks for any help.

I had the same issue and now my replies are on top. It is a setting somewhere which I can't remember right now. (seems to me it was obscure) I'm looking right now and can't seem to find it.

edit - I found it.
Tools | Account Settings | Composition & Addressing | Then the box about quoting the original message, there is a drop down box, select 'start my reply above the qoute'

yeah, i hated that, thought that was peculiar to have as default.

Yup, that's a per-account setting, but be careful because your signature will still stay at the bottom (which is unfortunate for us who like replying at the top).
