That would depend on the MUA used. I use pine and all such
.sigs get stripped from my replies. I know that with Groupwise
up to version 6.4 this is not the case. Or at least I can't get
it to strip .sigs, add '>' for lines quoted and put the cursor
at the bottom of the msg.

who had your e-mail address in their addressbook. That's
