Can I remove the nested message function - I mean in the read pane, not in the message list

I really really hate nested messages - this was the reason I stopped using gmail and switched to Thunderbird in the first place.

When I reply to an email, the data entry field defaults now to the bottom of the page with previous messages nested above it. This often results, as I found in gmail, that sometimes messages end up lost in the middle of a covnersation. I want my messages displayed linearly in the read pane, with my reply at the top as it was before.

Is there a setting to disable nesting of messages in the read pane?

Whether or not you nest yourself is your own choice. Then you decide whether to top-post or bottom-post. But you can't expect an email client to resolve any arbitrary mix of top, bottom and interleaved posting put in by previous contributors to a message chain. .

Top-posting is easily set up.

Tools|Account Settings|{select account}|Composition & Addressing and set where your reply should be inserted there.

It's called threading. View|Sort by|Unthreaded.

But I don't know of any email client that can unthread messages that contain quotes from previous messages.

No, that refers to the nesting of emails within the inbox itself, i.e. the list pane. I am referring to the nesting of messages within the reading pane. In older versions, the messages were not nested and one typed one's reply at the top of the reading pane, like a text message. In the current version, messages in the readings pane are nested and one types one's reply at the bottom, like a book. I do not want that.
