I'm using gmail right now and it perfectly enables me to do bottom posting and proper trimming. When you click reply gmail puts two blank lines at the top of the email along with placing your cursor at the very top. All a person has to do is press the delete key twice and move their cursor down to where they want to start. Gmail *also* (and I think this is the most important part) doesn't create rediculous reply headers like Outlook does (and in fact Outlook users can get an addon for free called Outlook QuoteFix which I use at work), further enabling a user to properly bottom post.
