Subject: change position of included text?

Hi all,
is it possible to tell pine not to put the included original message,
when making a reply, after the signature at the end of the new
maessage text? I'd like to have it at the beginning followed
by the cursor position and the signature.

Any hints or ideas?

Thanx,
             Ulrike

Try looking in Pine's Setup Configuration screen (use the Setup command at
the main menu).  Look through the various things you can set (using the
built-in help if necessary).  The one of particular interest to you is
"signature-at-bottom".

However setting it means you revert back to forcing your readers to wade
through included old text before getting to your interesting new comments.
The default is chosen deliberately so that the new material is presented
first, with the old stuff there if necessary (but not dominating the
message).

Cheers,

Hm.. well, I'm not sure about that one. Maybe it depends on what editor you
use? If you use an external editor or the internal pico-like. I use vi, and
the cursor is positioned at the start of the body of the message. Personally,
I think that's fine, since I start answering a mail at the top, I don't 
know about you though :)

Thank you at Kristian for your fast reply.
It works fine except of one little feature: the position of the cursor.
The pine help says that the cursor will be positioned after the
included text, as I would like it.
But it is positioned at the beginning of the included text.

What's wrong?

Thanks again for your help,
Ulrike
