Thanks. That's helpful. I'm still a bit surprised you can't insert it manually, 
or you might have different signatures for different things, e.g. with address 
and phone number...




There used to be an extension that let you select the signature you wanted to 
insert for different types of email; but alas it stopped working long ago . . . 
.

These days I keep my various signatures in a text file and use copy/paste to 
insert them. Makes me think of the early 1990s when this capability seemed 
really cool!

Hi,

"Edit : Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings : Account Name"
There's an option to automatically attach a signature from a text file,
which works for new messages, but when I forward a message, it doesn't
seem to work, and I wonder, is there a way to manually "insert
signature" in the message composition window?

Go to "Composition and Addressing" and enable "Include signature for 
forwards".

Still, outside of a tech-support context, pruning is a good practice
regardless of your other choices. There's generally no need to
retain the entire thread in every message, it just becomes needless
clutter.


Such style of communication is not limited to tech-support, but with 
other businesses, also.  I've ever dreamed of Mozilla implementing 
additional option Automatically attach the original message when 
replying with appropriate attachment name (e.g. Original Message).  
This way one could strip/prune most of the inline quotes and place 
his/her reply bellow the context, while keeping the original, and 
possibly all previous messages from the thread, attached for reference 
(visible only when Display Attachments Inline is selected, or when 
opened in a separate window).  Is anyone aware of such enhancement 
request already filled in Bugzilla?


I certainly agree with Paul that pruning makes sense, at least 
theoretically. For me, however, it is impractical. 90+% of my email is 
work-related, if I were to prune every email I reply to, and somehow 
leave some sort of stub that would be informative, I would spend an hour 
or more a day doing that. I don't have the time for that.


I realize that bottom-posting is the rule in a lot of places. However, 
in the work newsgroups and emails I get, top-posting is the standard, 
right or wrong. Also, I know for a fact that not everyone I correspond 
with uses Mozilla products, the majority use Outlook. In addition, a lot 
of people don't thread their emails, so they may (or may not) need the 
entire chain of posts. Not to mention the fact that it is common for a 
thread to change directions in the middle; yes, it drives me crazy, but 
it happens.


So, whether it is the majority or not, top-posting is what I have to do.

Stanimir's proposal for an additional option makes sense, as long as it 
is set up so the user has options on how to implement it. Again, though, 
I do not know if Outlook has similar capabilities, I do not and never 
will use Outlook, but whatever I send needs to be compatible for those 
users.

All true, but in the final analysis it boils down to simply do as the
Romans do. If the group top posts, you top post - if they trim, you
trim and so on ... peace and harmony prevail.

location of email signature

[David Lawler]

Seamonkey 1.19

When I attach a signature file to an email, Seamonkey puts it at the 
very end of the email. This is fine if it's an original email, but I 
often get into length exchanges with one or more recipients. In that 
case it makes no sense to put my signature at the end of the message 
when my latest reply is at the top of the message. Is there a setting 
somewhere that I can adjust to make Seamonkey put the signature at the 
end of my most recent typing?

See the Composition  Addressing options for individual accounts you 
have setup:


[x] Automatically quote the original message when replying
Then, [_start my reply above the quote_]
and place my signature [_below my reply_(_above the quote_)]

Put your reply under the quoted material and prune everything after it 
(material to which you're not replying) so the sig immediately follows 
your bottom-posted reply.
