This build addresses the following issue:

- Added a new option to select where the signature goes (above/below quoted
text).

I re-read the conversations on this topic and believe I've implemented the
intended behavior. The default is the same as it's been, the signature goes
BELOW everything. But for those that desired the option, it wasn't too much
effort to add it.

For the most part, I want to put my SIG at the bottom of the E-mail. In general, I quote in text
from an incoming message & I intersperse my commentary immediately after each block of text from
the incoming message to which my comment directly responds. So the reply is structured like this:

---start of message---

> quoted

my two cents worth

> quoted

my two cents worth

> quoted

my two cents worth

SIG

---end of message---

But every so often I'm communicating with an organization instead of a person & I need to quote in
the entirety of the preceding dialog. In this occasional situation, I'd like to be able to tell
PBM to put my SIG above the quoted text for just this one message. Like this:

---start of message---

My response

SIG

> quoted dialog

---end of message---

I'm thinking a menu pick on the Edit menu of the Reply window would serve this purpose. A good
location for the menu entry would be just above or just below the "Quote original text" menu pick.
You might want to make the content of the menu pick be dependent on the permanent setting in the
Signature panel of the Persona, with the menu pick in the menu in the Reply window being the
opposite of whatever is in the Settings.

Of course, this would be a one-time thing. If you compose your Reply & PBM inserts the SIG . . .
wherever . . . and then you Alter Composed, well, the SIG is already in the message & PBM can wash
its hands of the issue at that point -- which is how it works now.

I liked that idea so much I implemented it<g>

I slightly re-ordered the Edit menu and placed it above the Word Wrap option
since it made sense as a toggle type checkbox. e.g., it looked good there.

The checkbox will auto-update if you change Persona's, to match the newly
selected Persona. It's initialized to whatever Persona you have as a default,
or FALSE if no Persona exists.
