Subject: .sig not at bottom

I was just reading the thread on someone having problems with their .sig 
not being at the bottom.  I have another question along that line.  My 
.sig is at the bottom in everything I do, except forward a message.  I 
have the old-style , and .sig at bottom commands implemented.  Is that 
normal?  Do most people like their .sig at the top when forwardong a 
message?  Is there anyway to change that?  Thanks.

I would also like to know (since when was having your sig on the bottom as
"old style"??) I noticed this option on an earlier version of Pine's pinerc
(perhaps its on 2.89 I haven't checked) From reading USENET over the past
two years the vast majority of sigs are placed at the bottom. Personally
I like sig's on top on forwards...since it shows upfront who is forwarding
the message and there's no confusion on whose message is whose. But for 
everything else the sig stays on the bottom for me :). 

In Elm we had two sig options: one for local mail and a 2nd one for "outside"
mail. I liked this approach. Though the ^R option is a way of resolving
this issue I was wondering if such an automatic option for local and outside 
sigs would be included for a future version of Pine.

The "old-style-reply" option is deprecated in favor of the feature-list 
options.  Having the signature and reply above the quoted text was new to 
me when I started dealing with Pine, so I guess it is newer than the "at 
the bottom" way ;)

> sigs would be included for a future version of Pine. 

This has been proposed and will be considered for a future release of 
Pine (but not 3.90).
