[imp] Inserting the signature in the proper place

Hello,

I've migrated our webmail server from OpenWebmail to Horde/Imp a week  
ago, but before that when testing, I noticed the controversial issue  
regarding the "correct" place to insert mail signatures. In real life,  
users want to "top post" replies and forwards, and want their  
signatures right below their typing. If that's "right" or "wrong"  
according to the RFC or the Bible, it doesn't matter. It's a de facto  
standard, and users want it.

Anyway, knowing that my users would be complaining on day one, I had  
to "fix" that.

I googled a lot, but could only find requests for it, and rather  
irritated answers at that - oddly it reminded me of Steve Jobs telling  
iPhone users that they didn't know how to hold the phone correctly.

Not finding a ready solution, I had to make a quick and dirty hack to  
provide that as an option to my users. It's in production for a week  
now (~90 users). If anyone wants to test/make it better/send me fixes,  
I posted the patch at https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/10487

Best regards,
Joao

Now on to allow users to properly forward emails with only the  
attachments they want...
