Unfortunately several mobile clients implement it the same way. See the

It distracts reading, replies are out of context, ...

In fact, there are traditional MUAs, that cut a message at the signature, 
so one is unable to respond correctly.

Sadly, it gets more and more wide spread and I wonder if Horde (and 
Alpine, Mutt etc.pp) can withstand that pressure, maybe IMP's message 
composition mobile should be named "Asterix" ;-)
