Thanks to you and to Al for the answer. I asked because it
occasionally comes up in news.software.readers, and there aren't
many Agent users there, since you have your own newsgroup.

Yeah, it does, so the user can just start typing if s/he wants to
top-post.
FWIW, Xnews has two modes. If there was some text highlighted before
hitting 'reply', only that text is quoted. In that case, the cursor
starts out below the quoted text, since snipping has already been done.
If no text is highlighted, the entire post is quoted, and the cursor
starts out right before the first > character.
