Tried this for the current version, 0.1, but it doesn't work. The signature keeps appearing at the bottom.

I have emptied my caches, logged out and back in but to no avail. Any ideas?

Nevermind, I made a typo...

I think this should be the out-of-the-box default, especially since a)it reads easier, and b)clients like GMail which collapse quoted text will usually pull the sig into that as well.

This only seem to work in plain-text mode. Is there anyway to get it working with HTML/TinyMCE too? (Using 0.1.1)

To have HTML signatures appear at the top of replies and forwards do the following:
Find the file named: "app.js"

search for the following line:
Comment the line out or replace with the following code:
If anyone wants to take a stab at a patch with this as an option (tick box) please post it here, thanks!

Sam beat me to it! I came here a few days ago, went away and came up with almost the same thing:

editor.getBody().insertBefore(sigElem, editor.getBody().getElementsByTagName("p")[0]);

I missed using firstChild!

Thanks Sam & Sverre, works for me on SVN 2099.

A few things as a minor follow-up regarding HTML mode:

1) Does anyone know how to make it so when you tab into the main composition box, it places the cursor on the first/top line, rather than below the signature? (it only does this on a reply; when creating a new message, it tabs to the first/top line).

2) Is there a way to add an additional empty space to the first line HTML signature so that there is room to write w/o having to manually add another line. In plain-text I just added an extra '\n'... something similar for HTML?

E-mail is not a conversation. This whole mindset of e-mail being a "conversation" is what led to the creation of g-mail, the world's worst e-mail service. heh, and if you notice, g-mail even puts the most recent message at the top of the thread - or it tries to, I should say. Usually it starts a new thread like an annoying board troll. E-mail is not a "conversation". Think of it like sending electronic postcards back and forth. You may save all your postcards, but do you read all the previous ones before the one that came in the mail today? Maybe if you have a few screws loose, but most people would read the most recent postcard, then refer to the older ones as, when and if needed.

Having to scroll through previous quoted messages (which can sometimes be pages and pages in length) to get the signature of a message is just goofy, but I realize some people just have to be different, so whatever, I find it very annoying. The idea that I should scroll past all that crap to find the message as well is just plain goofy. Unless that e-mail was from a boss or someone important (i.e. someone who has something I want - i.e. a paying customer), I'd likely delete it rather than read it. Time is too precious to waste it on people who waste it intentionally by being petty.

And the link you rely on for support of your position is written by someone who does not know the difference between Usenet and E-Mail. They are NOT the same thing. Usenet is a conversation, e-mail is not. Netequitte is fine and dandy. Some of it has a purpose and a place (like NOT TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) but most of it is junk that people with way too much time on thier hands and who are way too willing to tell others what to do come up with.

Replying to an email is very simple:

* Delete the unnecessary information.

* Add the answer under each the question asked.

* Add a signature at the bottom.

* Send the email.

This give a small and neat email which has been cleaned and can be read top-down without having to exercise your finger on the scroll wheel.

To extend in the comparison of sending postcards: Repeat the question on the card and add the answer under the question.

May I just ask a naive question - how do I make .js files from the .js.src files which I can edit? There seems to be some compression program being used since version 0.2

Thanks!
