TB usually adds the "--\n" seperator before a signature be default. This
seperator is NOT inserted, when the option 'place me signature: "below my reply
(above the quote)" is set in the account settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. in "Account Setting -> Composition & Adressing" uncheck "Compose messages in
HTML"
2. check "Automatically quote...", select "start my replay above the quote" and
"below my reply (above the quote)"
3. return to inbox, select a message and hit "reply" or "reply all"

Actual Results:  
Signature from text file is inserted, however without "--\n" seperator. The
cursor starts right above the signature.

Expected Results:  
Signature from text file is inserted, with "--\n" seperator.

This is as designed. Including the "-- " when top-replying would make
everything under it part of the sig. For more info, read the *lengthy*
discussion about this in bug 62429.
