For Mozilla/Thunderbird users;

Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings
Verizon News Account (Whatever you named your account)
Composition & Addressing
Check "Automatically quote the original message when replying
Then, choose, "start my reply below the quote" from the drop down box.

If you're using "Outhouse", download "QuoteFix" and install it.

This posted from SeaMonkey (Mozilla Suite/Thunderbird) which automatically
placed my cursor at the end of the original quote.
