Missing in what respect?  Evolution isn't an Outlook clone (thankfully)
- different programs, different feature sets.

This just sounds completely wrong.  A signature goes at the bottom of
things, not in the middle or at the top - that's what a signature is.
If you need to have the other emails present for context, then they
should be attached, not included; if the emails need to be included,
then they are part of the message body and the signature comes after it.

You should also be aware that many MUAs (such as Evo) will remove
anything after the '-- ' signature separator when replying -
consequently if you put the signature in the middle of an email, when
you reply everything after it, including the other emails, will be
removed.
