I agree with the first comment : the behavior of this option is
relatively unconvenient (or there is something I do not understand), and
I have disconnected it and do everything by hand, using *xType* to
shortcut the signatures.
To defeat automatic insertion, what I do (I am not sure it is the best
option) is to have as first signature an empty line.

I am baffled by MailMate's behavior wrt signatures. What am I doing
wrong?
First, if Preferences:Signatures:Default signature placement is set to
"Top" then, when I reply to an email, the signature is inserted at the
bottom of the reply, below the quoted text. The behavior is the same
if it is set to "Bottom", except that this is [less
astonishing](Principle of least astonishment).
I need to top-reply in most of my correspondences because this is what
people expect. And I need my signature to be immediately below my
reply and above the quoted text. For now, I copy-paste the signature
that MailMate inserts at the bottom of the email to the top and then
compose my reply.
Second, how do I defeat automatic insertion of a signature?
Third, I use signatures as a convenient way to insert various
boilerplate texts. But when I insert a signature using the composer's
toolbar, I always get a warning about discarding HTML. What's this
about?
Finally, I don't understand what is the "HTML Variant" or how it
works.
What would suit me is very simple:
1. An option to not insert a signature by default.
2. When I insert a signature using the composer's toolbar menu,
MailMate inserts it
- at my carat, wherever that may be, and
- simply as a plain-text string. Regardless if I am composing in
markdown or not, just insert the characters in the signature string as
though I had typed them or copy-pasted them from a text-editor.
Unless I'm doing something wrong, I will need to add something like
[Paste](http://pasteapp.me/) to MailMate to transition from Outlook.
