Signature above original message on reply

[HYS]

Now the signature is placed completely below the body of the message. I'd like to have my signature under my answer and above the original message.

as far as I know most mail clients do not handle sigs this way.

Not to mention that top-posting is generally frowned upon in terms of netiquette (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_styles). But to each their own...

I have seen some mailers that insert the signature at the bottom of a reply, even if it's at the top of the message. Generally, these automatically paste the signature in the message before you start typing, and do not tack it on after you hit 'send'. Usually it's larger corporate-types who like to do this. Why, I don't know. Top-posting screws up the natural flow of discussion.

I propose two additional user preferences:

1. An option, as in Thunderbird, to place your cursor at the top or bottom of a reply.
2. An option to either insert the signature before you start composing or on send.

If a person chooses to both top-post and insert the signature before sending, what this particular person wants to do could be accomplished. If the signature is not inserted at the start, there is no way for RC to know where the quoted text really begins, and thus no way to know where to automatically place the signature.

I don't really want to support that.

The "-- " in a signature, makes any good email client remove what's underneath of it. So when you put your signature before the quoted text. You lose it later on in discussion. For me that makes no sense to support.

A signature is supposed to be underneath of it.

I too would like to see this implemented (I submitted #1484737 which is apparently a duplicate of this one). I already made my arguments there which I wont rehash here.

There seems to be alot of folks very much against the inclusion of any such options. Too bad Round Cube doesn't support something like plugins or addons as they do in FireFox? or Thunderbird. Then this issue would be a moot point.

So, one vote in favor of this from me. Again.

I vote for this too; I'd like to see this option. Perhaps it could be implemented with a warning:

Place reply and signature below quoted text (recommended) or Place reply and signature above quoted text (not-recommended)

At least then there'd be an option for those non-netiquette users, but still shows it's not 'proper'.
