Top posting in an e-mail (I see no distinction between business or
personal) does not make sense if the mail contains multiple points which
should be replied to separately. I much prefer usenet-style replies with
indented paragraphs from the original mail, with replies after each and
every paragraph.
Too bad some business related software (such as Lotus Notes, ew!) makes
this very difficult. You wont believe the messy e-mails I have seen,
especially when the conversation has gone back and forth a few times,
with multiple recipients and CCs added and removed along the way.
