Ah! OK, this is making sense now. Your signature and everything past it
is stripped.

All of this just reinforces my contention that top-posting is evil.
However, I fear it is here to stay.

I will continue my current practice of abstaining from using a signature
file when I am obliged to top-post.

BTW, I've learned from this that Outlook is able to insert signature
files above the quoted text because it doesn't use standard signature
files, it just inserts text at the cursor. It also makes it very
cumbersome to do anything but top-post.
