Yup. I think this is probably the reason why the signature comes before the forwarded message. (I think this was the behavior in GNUS 4.1 as well.) It makes sense to me, but, on the other hand, it makes automatic signature handling more difficult... So, I dunno. I have no strong feelings on the subject. If y'all feel that the signature should go after the forwarded message, I'll do that. It would make automatic signature handling easier. -- Home is where the cat is.
