I do it the other way around, especially with emails (and newsgroups where 
top posting is common).  I read the line at the top first (which is the 
reply) and then if I forgot the context I look below.

I use inbetween posting occasionally in emails, but always top post 
something like "See my comments below in blue" - otherwise I just top-post 
which seems to be the norm for email.  Everyone I've seen that does email 
top-posts their reply, so it would really screw up thing if I bottom-posted, 
plus it would mean everyone would get annoyed having to scroll through 10 
messages before they got to my text.
