Near as I can tell, all that offers is "th; signature blocks and quoted material in replies are properly formatted. My only gripe is that, in replies, the cursor is placed above the quoted material with a blank space there, thus encouraging top posting, but the signature block is still at the very bottom, and it's easy to delete the extra space and then move the cursor down (trimming quotes as necessary as you go) until you reach the bottom and can begin typing a properly bottom-posted reply." ...which tells us how to manually bottom-post, as if we couldn't figure out how to edit text, and does not tell us "how to fix this in gmail".

To bottom post in gmail:
1. Press reply. 2. Delete the space above the words "On xxx, yyy wrote:" 3. Press ctrl+end. 4. Type your message.
But, really, be strong, be brave, resist the temptation. Stand up to the bullies. There's actually nothing objectively wrong with top-posting except that the "old-timers" don't like it.
