https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_posting
has a nice explanation about quoting styles.

The "interleaved style" mentioned there has been used on mailing

preferred style on all technical mailing lists I read (except the
maemo ones, unfortunately).

Thanks for your interest in these issues and your willingness to make
reading your mails more pleasant for your audience!
