That's silly, when I send a fax and attach another document for
reference, I don't put my signature at the end of the last atachment, I
put it at the end of my own fax document (THEN come the attachments). So
whether i'm forwarding/replying inline or with attachments should make
no difference. *My signarure should be at the end of my text*.

I see your point, but I disagree. I think it's a matter of preference or how one
chooses to view it. I see it as follows:
+---------------------------------------

| dear sir,

| bla bla bla
|
| sincerely, <--- my signature is here !!!
| Peter
|
| attachments: previous correspondence for your reference
