It looks like a safe bet that this wil become a FAQ...
Maybe you should insert something like this:
(goto-char (point-max))
(skip-chars-backward " \t\n")
(forward-line 1)
(and (not (eobp))
(y-or-n-p (format "Delete the trailing blank line%s %s? "
(if (looking-at ".*\n[ \t\n]") "s" "")
(if has-signature "after the signature " "")))
(delete-region (point) (point-max)))
Also, I suspect that every
(re-search-forward message-signature-separator)
in message.el should be
(goto-char (point-max))
>>> (if (re-search-backward ...)
(goto-char (match-end 0)))
