N1MM Plus offers both options. The scrolling (N1MM Classic) style has 
the advantage that new text always appears in the same place, at the 
bottom of the window, so you can keep the mouse near the bottom instead 
of having to move up and down the window as the last line changes its 
location. However, it has the disadvantage that the text you want to 
click on moves when new text arrives, instead of staying in one place. 
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

The advantage of starting with a CR/LF is that your call sign always 
appears at the left side of the other guy's screen. Combine this 
practice with the scrolling method on receive and you might hardly have 
to move your mouse at all, except for the people who insist on putting 
CR/LFs on the end of their messages.
