Nope.

The signature is at the bottom. No discussion at all here. There is a
special marker to identify signatures and make automatic removals
possible.


What you do want, though, is some method to customize the string
currently hardcoded and displayed at the top. *Please*, do not call that
signature, as it is not.

There has been a ridiculous discussion about  replying and top- vs.
bottom-quoting -- which led me to an idea of customizing the string at
the bottom and even setting the cursor. That would exactly give you the
option to do what you just described, does it?

This was discussed and considered, although I do not know anything about
the status. Maybe Anna knows more, if she listens.

This *is* wanted by others, as long as you do *not* call it signature
but customized header... ;-)
