respect the user's signature placement #1

First, you rock. I think that this approach has a much higher likelihood o f making a difference than trying to get everyone to use strong encryption by default.

Second, in the future would you rather bug/feature requests be submitted via the github issues interface? I used the email too bc you mention it in your FAQs but the issues page here would probably be easier for you to track, you know?

Finally, Scare mail seems to preempt my sig on messages that are part of an existing conversation. This is not great as people who may not really even be aware of the tool or why it would be used might... be confused. I think that this may end up resulting in people deactivating the extension which would be a shame. I dont have time right now to go sorting through the code but making it behave a little smarter or maybe in a configurable way with respect to people's signatures would be a great thing!

Thanks again!

The typical signature behavior on replies in a conversation is to place the writer's signature below all quoted material (e.g. below the [...] section). So no matter what, the writer's signature is not easily visible: you have to expand the [...] then scroll to the bottom to see it. So ScareMail inserts above that. Are you wanting ScareMail to insert below the signature that is below the quoted text?

I can see an argument for that, but the downside is that some people would forget that ScareMail is attached, and then wouldnt' have the opportunity to delete it if desired (e.g. when sending a note to a specific person).

That is a good point. Its just that having it ABOVE my sig is also kind of undesirable. Maybe this is a gmail sig configuration thing...

In any case some level of configuration would be useful. When I am done with my dissertation and other crap maybe I will take a look for myself. I have a couple projects I want to use to learn JS soon anyway. Might as well slap this on the list!

Thanks for your attention!
