GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 560321
Top posting does not make any sense when replying at the bottom is enabled.

Please describe the problem: In composer preferences when 'Start typing at the bottom on replying' is enabled then keeping the signature above the original message does not seem to make any sense to me. I feel this option should be disable automatically and keep the signature at the bottom when 'Start typing at the bottom on replying' is enabled. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
While trying to understand Bug 620255 , i realized that the signature option is not really related to "Top posting" and does not control the top/bottom posting. (In reply to comment #0) > I feel this option should be disable automatically and > keep the signature at the bottom when 'Start typing at the bottom on replying' > is enabled. > Why not remove the option to place sign separately ? Just keeping the signature position dependent on the option 'Start typing at the bottom on replying' should be good as well.
Or if the option is being widely used , we can keep the two options together as: [ ] Start typing at the bottom on replying [ ] Keep signature above the original message on replying So it would be easier for user to realize the enable/disabling of the signature option depends on the above option.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
