Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Thunderbird for Android 6.603 with Android 11 by enabling signatures before quoted mail and stripping signatures from quoted replies, then replying to yourself several times. Trace the reply composition and quoted-mail signature-stripping flow; done means previously quoted messages remain intact while signatures are removed.
