Position HTML signature after newly entered text, rather than atend of entire thread of email

Sorry but get a life outside of newsgoups.

Sorry for being flippant, if that is a word.

The signatures are ment to be attached to the bottom of e-mails, computers
are not smart. you should send your email to Microsft comments.

P.S. I do not like getting replys with my email that I just sent (though I
know some people do).

I'm using Entourage 2004 (11.3.3) and when I reply to something, my
signature appears at the bottom of ALL the text in the email thread. Is
there a way to place it at the end of my newly entered reply (whereby it
doesn¹t show up after all

E.g.

I receive:

"Body of text FROM customer. text text text. text text text. text text text.
text text text. text text text. text text text. text text text.

His/her Signature"


I reply but my signature appears below his/her email as below:


"Body of text of MY reply.

Body of text FROM customer.

His/her Signature

MY SIGNATURE"


Why does my signature show up at the bottom instead of after my text? I need
it to show up after my email, preferably without my having to manually cut
and paste it from the bottom of the email, every time. Thanks

It appears you are using Reply on Top. To get what you want, change your
reply preference.

This is not a problem with the computer being smart. It has to do with
Microsoft programmers being smart. The ability to have the system
automatically place your signature below your response and the quote
below that has been a feature on newsreaders since the DOS days of the
QWK format package. However, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom chose
not to program this feature into their newsreader - unless I missed the
option.

Another thing that newsreaders in the DOS days could do was allow you
to highlight multiple lines of the message you're replying to before
you hit reply, then when you did hit reply it would pull in only those
highlighted lines so that you could more directly focus your response
to just those lines of the original message.

RoboMail - it was AWESOME and it was for DOS. We have become lazy with
our programs today.

Entourage does this. (Office 2004 11.3.3, OS 10.4.8) I really miss that
feature when I use Thunderbird.

Unless by "multiple lines" you meant noncontiguous selection, for
example, highlight line 4 and line 15 at the same time, and have them
placed in the reply.

You can do that in Entourage -- see?
