You've managed to be pedantic and patronising yet wrong. When the
message is forwarded ("Weitergeleitet", you should know this, since
you use a *.de domain), you have no other choice than to top post
because the forwarded message is not indented.

Before the message is forwarded, you actually have a choice whenever to
use dumb "inline forward style" (which you did) or proper
rfc822-compliant attachment (which your MUA should support).
In the latter case you're free to express yourself using top-posting,
bottom-posting or interleaved posting (which is preferred here) or even
cat-pictures posting.

Of course, proper forwarding requires using a real MUA. You could
consider start using one.

Thunderbird is a real MUA.


PS Using real OS cannot not hurt you too, you know.

You have never heard of user agent spoofing have you?
