[horde] Couple of Items - Signature When Replying, Not Authorized To Use IMP

I do use signatures - those of the emails I receive, to look up  
contact and/or company information of those I do not deal with every  
day. I remember having received an email from such a person, dig it  
out of my email store and scroll to the bottom of that email to look  
up what I need. (That's why I *dislike* sigs that have the now-a-days  
much too common lines about not to print the email in order to save  
resources. That stuff clobbers up the *essential* information.)

And actually those company policies needn't be "misguided" - there are  
countries (Germany being one) where certain signature information is  
actually required by law. Not under every circumstances, but instead  
of risking expensive law suites, it is easier to tell the general  
company user to add a company-designed signature to every business  
email.

I've actually received complaints that "inserting my response  
intersected with the original message makes reading it too hard". More  
often than not, the same people seem to miss anything below my second  
line of response, no matter if I top-post for them or not. Go figure.
