When you have a email with multiple replies or even more than 1 screen of info . the signature is lost at the bottom. Actually, netiquette demands that you reply _below_ quoted text, in which case the position of the signature is correct.

If you want to work on an SMTP-aware MUA, more power to you. But don't make Mutt users pay for something they won't use. While I agree with the need to keep one's MUAs and MTAs seperate, I find your argument flawed. There are literally dozens of features of Mutt that I don't use. Does that mean I ought to object to development in those areas? I don't think so. If somebody wants SMTP support -- well he is free to maintain a patch to do so... or if he is unable to do it himself, to lobby for somebody to do it.
