Hmm. I'm sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but I'm still puzzled. As you can see, Evolution does not do what you describe. (Or is "My Signature" below not an actual Evolution-added signature? Did you just type that in?) I haven't noticed it stripping any messages I've replied to at work, either.
For that matter, in my pre-Evolution days I don't think Emacs Gnus ever stripped messages, either. FWIW, M$ Outlook also doesn't. Anyway, now that we've got a good long top-posted thread going here, look how far away from my writing you find my signature. That's what I find a little awkward.
