non-user-friendly preferences string: Top Posting Option (not Recommended)

Apart from being non-Ubuntu-like, for an average user. it is not really clear why it is "Not recommended" .

Open source mailing lists might prefer this , but a regular user wouldnt understand.

It is better to remove the string than to explain why it is not recommended.

While you're at it, the string is also redundant. Of course it's an option; it is In The Preferences!

It is terribly inconsistent from a UI design stance. It doesn't make sense to accompany a label with another label that introduces it. If the former doesn't stand on its own, something is wrong with it.

Finally, the other preference related to top posting, “Start typing at the bottom on replying,” is not under the “Top Posting Option” title but among the other check boxes. Where this one should be ;)

(Personally, I would rather see those two become one option called “reply above original message,” but it's probably too late for that).

@ Dylan : Yup , i did think of filing a separate bug for that as well , by on reading upstream comments , this change seems unlikely any time soon and gave up on a bug for that :(

I'm pushing a fix as we speak, but please not that it only changes the string in the .ui file, all PO files will have to be updated to make the Top Posting Option string translated again.

Thanks didrocks :)
