	I delete it from the top and read it in with Control R at the bottom.
I haven't figured out an automatic way yet...

I also haven't figured out a way to automate this, but I think I'm coming
around to liking this behaviour.  To me it makes sense that the message
that you're forwarding is the only thing after this line:

---------- Forwarded message ----------

And all your info, including your sig, is above this line.  But for people
who want their sig to be the last thing in the message it would be nice
if this were configurable.

If you are using pine 3.90, go to "Setup" and choose Configure. Scroll 
down the list until "Signature at bottom". Put an x in this box, exit 
setup and restart PINE. That's it.

I wonder why the author has this backwards.  Wouldn't it make much more 
sense to have the signature default to the bottom and have a 
configuration option to have it at the top?  It sure would elimininate a 
LOT of confusion.

For me the signature-at-bottom variable only works on original messages
and replies.  For forwarded messages it puts my sig below my message
but before the forwarded message, so it's not at the bottom of the 
whole message.  Are you able to get it to automatically go below the
forwarded message?

Thanks,
Nancy

It seems to me that you are signing the message, not the attachment. So
having the .sig file after your message, but before the attachment, makes
lots of sense. Maybe we have lost/gained something by dealing so much with
electronic communications. Perhaps we can benefit from some traditional
correspondance training. I know it would help me.
