Re: Gnus: default position of point in replies

[Marius Hofert]

Dear Eric,

thanks for helping, that worked.
However, the signature is now also placed above the original message. Assuming 
you decide to reply "inline" (to certain parts of the message individually), 
then your reply starts with the signature... This would require to cut the 
signature and put it in the message foot... 
Is there any way to solve that?

Cheers,

Marius
