This behaviour lies in the nature of a signature. A signature is supposed to be
at the end of a message, so it can be cut when replying. This is intended.

There have already been long discussions in the n.p.m.mail-news newsgroup.

"The problem described is not a bug" -> INVALID

In my opinion this is a bug, but here it's irrelevant, because this bug is a
duplicate of bug 201581.

I'd change it's status, but I don't have the priviledges. Reporter, could you do
that?
