I will put it after the message in the future.  The message ID will remain
invisible however.

Like google does? Hmm...

It never was.  And it isn't specified as a signature separator anywhere
either...

The whole body of a message is quoted.  A signature is part of the body and
this it is quoted.  How could the server guess what a signature is reliably?

I will see how this can be improved.

There is always one blank line in messages in the web view.  I will see how
this can be improved when quoting.

HTML is not supported in posts.  Only plain text message texts are.

Thanks!

PS: It may take a few weeks until those changes will be made. RL does not
permit me to make them earlier.
