The patch adds a number of different options: "top_posting": adds some new lines and puts the cursor above the original message when replying. "show_sig": 4 different options about when to automatically add a signature to a message: never, always, only new messages, only replies/forwards "sig_above": when replying or forwarding put the signature about the existing message "strip_existing_sig": this option was suggested on the ticket, don’t remove existing sig from the message when replying.
I have also added a new button on the compose screen toolbar, "Insert Signature" - does what it says on the tin.
So many options looks too complicated now. Can't we have just a "top posting mode" or sth? Let's see...
- "strip_existing_sig" was my suggestion, but now I think it is not
needed, we should just remove sigs only when "top postiong mode" is disabled. Top-posters are probably not interested in replied message content.
- "top_posting" behavior is related with "sig above", we don't need two
options.
"show_sig" option with "Insert signature" button is ok.
ps. I didn't seen the patch, so I'm talking only about the idea.
