Regarding top-posting, my bad. I'm pretty new to the concept of a
mailing list, I'm more of a forums kind of guy. It seems using the
gmail web interface to send the message does the top-posting
automatically; henceforth I'll use my thunderbird client.

And yes, I ran into that very bug report, and I've adapted the changes
in the repository qscintilla(-qt4) PKGBUILD into the AUR
qscintilla-qt5 PKGBUILD but to no effect. I've flagged the AUR package
out of date and will also link this mailing list issue in the package
page, but as of yet have not seen any activity by the original maintainer.
