You delinked each person's comments with their headers and your
message is hard to associate  now.

Bottom posting was popular before threading browsers were developed in
the 80s.

I don't want all the attachments before the text I want to read.

Most people can read either format, provided the etxt is trimmed or
not bottom posted after much nesting but some have reading
disabilities.

Look at the mess you have made below.
