Description

It's a per-account setting, but it currently gives no visual feedback about whether it's enabled or not.

I generally prefer to reply below, but there are some people who aren't savvy enough to know to scroll down (why'd you send me a blank email?) to whom I'll manually top quote.

It'd be nice to have some visual indicator that I am replying below, so I don't accidentally reply below to someone who I mean to reply above.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point; begin by tracing the per-account “reply below quoted text” setting through the Android reply UI. Done means the compose view visibly indicates whether replies will be placed below quoted text, including when the setting is enabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
