That may be more a problem in the choice of NNTP client that pcbutts1 is
using (Outlook Express). A problem with OE is that, by default, it will
topmost. The signature appears immediately after the added text for the
message, so topposting in OE means the signature follows it and before the
quoted material. OE does have problems.
If pcbutts1 is using Windows XP, its Service Pack 2 updated Outlook Express
so there are now a couple of registry edits that can make Outlook Express:
- Bottompost.
- Place signature at the end.
So pcbutts1 could still toppost is that is his bent for style (i.e., he was
raised in Microsoft's microcosm rather than in Usenet) but have his
signature still appear at the bottom (after the quoted material). Or he
could enable bottomposting whereupon the signature will appear at the bottom
whether he had the bottom-signature option enabled or not.
He could also use OE-QuoteFix if he isn't running Windows XP to get posting
in the proper or preferred position but still get the signature at the
bottom. OE-Quotefix hasn't been updated in years (i.e., it is a defunct
product) but still works provided you do NOT have SP-2 installed (which only
applies for Windows XP) because it breaks OE-QuoteFix (see
http://www.insideoe.com/resources/tools.htm#oequotefix, last sentence inside
the boxed area regarding Windows XP SP-2 users and why OE-QuoteFix stopped
working).
Rare few users actually read the description of an update or service pack to
know what it changes. I only discovered the registry hacks for Outlook
Express (to make it bottompost and/or bottom-signature) by reading the
description of SP-2 for Windows XP. See
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811113/en-us (which has a link to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886340/ where the registry hacks are
described). Hopefully in a future update to OE these registry hacks will
become options accessible from with the program.
