MIME forwarding and signatures

MIME forwarding and signatures

[Russ Allbery]

When forwarding a message with Som or Sop, is there any way to get one's
signature before the forwarded message rather than after it?  I'd rather
only create a two-part message instead of a three-part one, plus if I
decide I don't need to add any additional commentary and the signature is
right at the top I can just delete the signature and Gnus then correctly
sends a single message/rfc822 message instead of a multipart.

Plus, I think having the forwarded message after my signature looks
better.

There was a thread about this in mid-to-late September under the
subject "extra .ATT attachments?". There was a complete lack of
consensus on the aesthetics of signature-position with respect to
attachments (which in this case includes your forwarded message).

Well, the Way of the Gnus is to offer a user option, isn't it?
