Email Conventions
As a rule of thumb, should my responses go at the top or a quoted email, the bottom or inline?

"clarity within complex threads is important" Inline FTW; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style
If not inline, use TOFU and avoid bottom line, just whatever makes sense.

Inline should be preferred.

No but that's a good idea - you should add a page covering it!

One thing that I would beg people to do is figure out how to make Outlook
use the ">" character to nest quoted content during replies.
It's very difficult for those of us not using Outlook to track conversations
in what appears to be the default reply format. Anybody know how to do
this?

Hi Animsh
My email client is outlook 2011.
I have already ask my administrator for help, But I got answer below ~:P
" For the meantime, the work around for this as advice by the Exchange
Admins is to ask your recipients,
outside the company, to update their address book using the display name
that you want them to see like in this case Howie Yu"
So it seems that there is nothing I can do to change it.

Hi Alex

Thanks

Here's what you need to do in outlook 2010.
Click on the File tab at the top
Click on option in the left frame - a dialogue box will pop up.
Click on Mail in the left frame
For "Compose message in this format", select plain text
Scroll down to Replies and Forwards
For "Replies" select prefix each line
In the box underneath put in ">" as the character.
I'm sure similar stuff can be done in older outlook versions.
