Handling of signatures (contact info at bottom of message)

This is not a major deal. Just a way to cut down on messy text blobs if people use the default settings when making their own signatures.

This is how K-9 does signatures.

signature

This is how signatures are usually done.

signature

I manually add the "-- " in my signatures and pre-pend the line break so my signature in the Sending options look right. "--signature" If every other client and webmail is adding the line break, K-9 should, too.

Dear Person:

Hello. This email has multiple paragraphs.

Therefore, having the signature (by default) come immediately after is a bit messy-looking.

This is especially true if the signature is long.

Thank you.

Some people purposely add several in their signatures to visually separate sections of the signature and to sharply visually separate the signature as a whole from the message content. Others use desktop clients that add liberal (i.e., probably too much) white space.

It probably doesn't bode well for K-9 adoption if people complain about K-9-using correspondents' signatures being stuck to the message text and looking cluttered.

If everyone else is going against IETF RFC's and K-9 is right, then so be it. But it just seems like K-9 Mail is the odd one out from the prevailing convention.

Start by tracing how the compose screen applies the configured signature from Sending options to the outgoing message. Compare the current output with the two examples in the issue, and confirm that the completed behavior adds the requested separation before the signature without disrupting user-provided signature spacing.
