To bottom post in gmail:
1. Press reply.
2. Delete the space above the words "On xxx, yyy wrote:"
3. Press ctrl+end.
4. Type your message.
It's better to move through the original message trimming out parts
that aren't relevant, and then inserting your replies inline, rather
than just jumping to the end and bottom-posting under a fullquote.
To this end, starting the cursor at the top is actually the sensible
thing, though it shouldn't be done with a space left at the top as
Gmail does it.
But, really, be strong, be brave, resist the
temptation. Stand up to
the bullies. There's actually nothing objectively wrong with
top-posting except that the "old-timers" don't like it.
Personally, I think top-posters should be executed by lethal
injection (or perhaps an alternate means such as a firing squad), but
unfortunately the laws of some countries block this sensible
proposal.
