I'm not Jeremy, but if I might step in here I think I know what he's
talking about. In many, perhaps most, institutional environments,
top-posting has become the accepted protocol for replying to email
messages. Personally, I view this as an unfortunate trend, but all the
righteous indigination I can muster is not going to change this trend,
so to get along, I'm forced to reluctantly top-post at work.

In Evolution, when I top-post to a thread, the signature gets put at the
very bottom, after potentially several pages of other people's writing.
In Outlook, the signature gets put immediately after my text. I think
this is what Jeremy was referring to, as it's been an annoyance for me
when I use Evolution for work.

uhm, but then when someone replies to his message, the mailer would strip his signature and everything afetr it, completely wiping out any previous conversation. This is a Bad Thing (tm).
