incoming_email with inline/bottom posting
there are various styles to reply to emails, but everybody in their right minds will agree that top-posting (or worse TOFU) is about the worst possible way to do it. Well, at least in my world.
Anyhow, the problem I'm facing is, that gitlab's incoming email feature (responding to issues via email) enforces top-posting style, by eating all the non top-posting content.
E.g. some collaborator posted a comment, and I get an email:
New comment for Issue 666
