        Hi,
a quick check shows that this is the same in current development version
(3.11.4), thus it might be intended (and depends on your reply style). A
lame workaround would be to set (in Edit->preferences->Composer
Preferences) to place your signature also at the top, but it's not only
lame, but also wrong, if you use mail signatures (they should be at the
bottom, ideally).

I'm not aware of anything else, I'm sorry.
        Bye,
        Milan
