It wasn't all that long ago that this topic was explored here, was it? I 
disagree that interspersing response, point by point, within the body of 
the original message is more readable, even though I understand the 
argument and agree that it has merit. It can become downright 
crazy-making after a few levels of reply. I am of the camp that suggests 
it's most sensible to reply after the original message (seems logical, 
doesn't it?) although I see what Colin is talking about and have to 
admit I had never thought of that, but I don't bother with email on my 
phone at all.
