It is working correctly from my POV. When you forward a message to someone,
you place your comments at the top and there is where the sig will be, just
above the forward message and below your comments.

Having the sig at the bottom of the forward message makes it seem that the
sig is part of the forward message and not from you.

Take care,

That's why quoting was invented.  ;-)

Seriously, if you don't make the forwarded mail an attachment,
and if you do not use either quoting or extra line delimiters
then even the forwarded mail will be part of your signature.
And that's even worse.  YMMV.

Personally, I put my sig at the bottom and keep it McQ (up to four lines).
I also avoid forwarding whenever I can.  And when I do, I quote the stuff.
