bottom posting, or inline if several points need individual replies.
No top posting. Plin text preferred. Quoting in any of the usual
formats, > is the most normal and should be used when possible.
There are programs that will parse the quote prefixes out of something

did that on windows, useful to read joke emails that had been
forwarded a zillion times and ended up with a zillion > at the start
