The problem is that the MML-processing stage ends the first text/plain section at the directive for the attachment. Since the signature has already been inserted, this is typically where you've finished typing, at the bottom of your message but above the signature. So the document structure (send such a message to yourself and C-d it) is something like: text/plain (your real message) foo/bar (the attachment) text/plain (your signature) I tend to work around this problem by manually moving point after my signature before inserting attachments, or in the case of forwarding messages, to manually move my signature into the main body, rather than after the included message. It hasn't annoyed me enough yet to try to fix it for real, but I would propose that all text outside of explicit MML tags be concatenated into the initial text/plain section. - Nathan
