Did you enjoy counting those 400 some lines? ;)

I look at it this way: You're getting an e-mail from somebody, their reply
should be at the top of the e-mail.
That way if you know what the topic is and just want to see the written
reply comment, it's right there. And if you aren't sure what it refers to,
you can read below.

Deb, I don't know how long you've been using e-mail, but it looks like
you may be using Outlook or Outlook Express. Outlook uses "top
posting", which means that when you reply to a message, your response
goes at the top, with the old messages below. Many people consider this
to be a bad practice in a mailing list or newsgroup; I won't go that
far, but it does require extra vigilance on your part.
