yes, <sigh>.  It'll be a good day when evolution allows a proper plain
text formatter and has a less frustrating editor.

I do use a script to generate signatures, and I get it to output text
surrounded by <pre> ... </pre> tags.  Works nicely.

But this doesn't help the OP who, I think, wanted to know if there was
an option to put the signature at the top of the message instead of the
bottom.  As far as I know, this isn't configurable.
