Hello Roger,

I don't know of such software;
However do you really feel that top-posting is a technique which is bad 
enough to warrant being bounced?
Or indeed 'too much' quoting?

I wouldn't have such views on the mail lists I admin, because I believe 
such things are the personal choice of the poster with pros and cons 
from both sides.

If one or more readers don't personally like an email to be structured 
in such a way, and actively object to it, I would feel they are petty 
and more interested in finding fault rather than considering what is 
actually being written.
