Hehehe, the Gmail you like does leave two lines empty on top. I do not think Gmail guys are anyway associated with Microsoft. I am using Gmail now and I have left two empty lines on the top and scroll a bit to do bottom-posting. When people access email through a mobile-phone or PDA, I think they will hate bottom posting.
