but you don't reply at the bottom, you comment within the quoted message
normally. If you are just replying to let them know "ok, sounds great"
no need to reply at the bottom and make the guy/gal scroll to the bottom
of the message to read it. That's pretty annoying, instead you'd want
that comment at the top of the message.

Probably. Does it really annoy you that badly though? Takes up like a
quarter-inch on my screen. Besides, you still need the Preformat/Normal
option menu.

We had evolution do this for a bit but got complaints that it was
stripping more than signatures if the original sender used "-- " in the
body of his message somewhere.

You're welcome to send us a patch tho...should be easy enough to add,
just instead of doing a strstr (body, "\n-- \n") - you'd have to search
the string from the bottom up.
