You might say that, but it's true. Unless you forcibly switch it to plain text mode on every mail, you cannot bottom-post. It's not just a case of scrolling down and putting the cursor at the bottom. Anything added within or below the quoted text is considered as part of the quoted text, which is even more confusing. I normally remember to bottom-post for BBLUG mails (including jumping through LookOut's stupid hoops to allow me to do so), but this time I forgot. So sue me.

"Outlook-Quotefix does not (yet) work with Outlook 2007"
