Re: Signature in forwarded messages

Lars, may I respectfully request that you put the magic ``Start of''
string into a variable so that it doesn't have to be copied by hand as
below?

I don't think this is broken.  At any rate, it behaves the same way in
sgnus v0.16.

You do have a hook available to rearrange things.  Take a look at the
gnus-mail-forward-hook.  What you would want to do there is move all
the text between the header separator line, and the 
``------- Start of forwarded message -------'' line to the end of the
buffer.

Try this out and see if it does what you want (I'm sure that this is
not the most elegant way of doing this, but it appears to work):

(defun signature-to-end-of-forwarded-message ()
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (re-search-forward
     (concat "^" (regexp-quote mail-header-separator) "$") nil t)
    (forward-line 1)
    (let* ((start (point))
	   (end (progn
		  (save-excursion
		    (re-search-forward "^------- Start of forwarded message -"
				       nil
				       t)
		    (beginning-of-line)
		    (point)))))
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (insert-buffer-substring (current-buffer) start end)
      (delete-region start end))))

(add-hook 'gnus-mail-forward-hook 'signature-to-end-of-forwarded-message)
