signature to appear on top when replying mail
how can the signature file be placed on top rather than below when replying a mail? Top as in above the content of the mail i m replying to. Benny -- I don't want Perl to be beautiful, I want you to write beautiful programs in Perl. --Larry Wall, Culture of Perl, August 1997

Many mail clients/editors are configured to snip anything below the signature separator - which in that case would remove content.

In certain corporate settings, that much-hated Notes-style quoting is actually useful: Just imagine a lengthy exchange of e-mail messages on a certain topic, where, at some point, a third party is included. That person can easily read the entire exchange of messages, and thus easily enter the exchange without having to be briefed. -- Thomas Roessler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
