I disagree. I figure, you know what you sent me, you want to see what
I'm saying in reply first. I've only left your part quoted to refresh
you of any possible specifics, to save you the time of looking in your
'sent' folder. Of course, the jargon file states that you should break
reply to each peice on it's own, which I absolutely think is annoying,
as your reply may get lost as I scroll on down, so I guess I just like
things my own way.
So, I would like the .sig to be put above the quoted text, too. Now, if
this does pose problems with other mail/news reads, that's a different
story, but they should be using Mozilla anyway. :p

PS: I just noticed something that may be a 'bug'. If I use the '<-'
(left arrow) key to move back in my typing, it doesn't move up to the
end next line when it reaches the beginning of the current line. Anyone
else notice this? [I'm using Moz 0.9.2]
