hi Jeff.

thanks.   as far as I can tell.  and it could be user err!!  one can reply at top  or end.   I haven't found a way within a msg to insert comments at a given point of a thread?  let me know if there's a way!

thanks

One of the most important reasons I use Gmail is because it supports
multi-factor authentication (mfa). MFA is great at helping keeping an
account secure. Consider, the IETF has never updated SMPT, IMAP or POP
to include MFA workflows.

For me, the choice had nothing to do with composition features. And to
point out the obvious... top posting is a choice by the user. It is
not a property of a mail client.
