For starters. TOFU is not proper email. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/quoting.html http://www.massey.ac.nz/%7Etameyer/writing/quoting.html
Also, a standard conform signature is prefixed with "-- " which better mail clients automatically strip on reply.

I helped a user in IRC with this simple change, not the placement of the cursor, but the blank lines above the reply.
I'm new to the list, but I did follow / participate back a few years ago, and this has been a long arduous discussion, about a fairly simple change.
I certainly understand both sides of the argument, but is it the place of the client to enforce netiquette, when it goes against the de-facto reply style of a large userbase?
Personally, I prefer the ability to choose between the two methods, rather than enforce one, and constantly field questions/patches from vocal users, and possibly annoy and alienate quiet users. It certainly wouldn't put RoundCube in a bad light, and might actually increase adoption.

Hehe. ;-)
I mean basically you can write your emails however you want. If you would like this feature I certainly wouldn't deny a patch. You could a) add an option to identities to add the signature to the top and b) another one to define the delimiter ("-- "). Probably makes sense to define it per email address so you can post to full-disclosure and don't get leveled for TOFU and still use TOFU with company email.
I think the so-called standard (signature at the bottom and "-- " as the delimiter) should be the default and then people can change these settings.
