<p dir="auto">I agree with the first comment : the behavior of this option is relatively unconvenient (or there is something I do not understand), and I have disconnected it and do everything by hand, using <em>xType</em> to shortcut the signatures. <br>
To defeat automatic insertion, what I do (I am not sure it is the best option) is to have as first signature an empty line. </p>

<p dir="auto">I am baffled by MailMate's behavior wrt signatures. What am I doing wrong?</p>
<p dir="auto">First, if Preferences:Signatures:Default signature placement is set to "Top" then, when I reply to an email, the signature is inserted at the bottom of the reply, below the quoted text. The behavior is the same if it is set to "Bottom", except that this is <a href="Principle%20of%20least%20astonishment" style="color:#777">less astonishing</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">I need to top-reply in most of my correspondences because this is what people expect. And I need my signature to be immediately below my reply and above the quoted text. For now, I copy-paste the signature that MailMate inserts at the bottom of the email to the top and then compose my reply.</p>
<p dir="auto">Second, how do I defeat automatic insertion of a signature?</p>
<p dir="auto">Third, I use signatures as a convenient way to insert various boilerplate texts. But when I insert a signature using the composer's toolbar, I always get a warning about discarding HTML. What's this about?</p>
<p dir="auto">Finally, I don't understand what is the "HTML Variant" or how it works.</p>
<p dir="auto">What would suit me is very simple:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">An option to not insert a signature by default.</li>
<li value="2">When I insert a signature using the composer's toolbar menu, MailMate inserts it
<ul>
<li>at my carat, wherever that may be, and</li>
<li>simply as a plain-text string. Regardless if I am composing in markdown or not, just insert the characters in the signature string as though I had typed them or copy-pasted them from a text-editor.</li>
</ul></li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Unless I'm doing something wrong, I will need to add something like <a href="http://pasteapp.me/" style="color:#777">Paste</a> to MailMate to transition from Outlook.</p>
