The fact that you have to create the signatures as files manually is a big drawback.
I created my signatures as UTF8 files using textedit on the mac, but when i insert them the æøå charectores are encoded incorrectly. Editing the files and saving them in a differet format didn't change the signatures (i pressed the edit button in the extension), picking a different file didn't change it, even on reboot the signature still was the same when i originaly picked the file.
Bottom posting is also a big issue.

Good tool, would give 5 star if signature would be added below the reply, and not below all previous messages. Needs an option for this at the settings.

Works fine for adding all types of signatures. However the only reason for me using it is that it is in my case faster to copy paste the signature to the location I want it that to type it in (I'm using a more complex HTML signature).
I am "forced" to use this until me or someone else creates a signature addon that really works well.
It would be a five star review if it would allow you to top post and put the signature below your reply. The fact that this does not work makes it a three star review. And the fact that the author of this very good add-on is so set on the fact that top posting is bad and ugly even though it is the de-facto standard in many countries. In this conviction seems to ignore the major public demand for a signarure add-on that works just makes me annoyed and therefore just the two stars...

I agree- it would be more useful if it would insert at the cursor point rather than the end of the email. I stopped using it because it's faster to type than to scroll, cut, paste, etc. My signature needs to be with the most recent part of the email, not at the bottom where the beginning thread is.

No mail client can be called "complete" without a random signature feature. Thank you for adding it to TB!

Not sure why there is an autoswitch for recipients but not for senders. Would be useful to have a autoswitch options for signatures based on the sender address/account.

It would be nice if it would switch according to which address book was showing or which address book a recipient was in

Good - thanks for the extension. One problem - the added signatures disappear when TB crashes. It's a real pain to have to go back and re-add the signatures all the time.

Would be a whole lot better if you could have the option to insert at the cursor point rather than the endd of the message.

Overall works as advertised, I guess, but I'd like it a whole lot better if it would put the signature in the same place I specify for auto-quoting placement in Thunderbird's Account Settings / Composition & Addressing -- in particular, above the quote as others have mentioned.
Another improvement would be for it to support different settings for different email accounts. One size doesn't fit all...

An useless add-on for people who keep long discussions through mails because of its signature insertion point which is only at the bottom of the reply. Unfortunately, for me, I can't use it like this. Otherwise excellent extension, if you like the signature at the end of mail it works very good.

Essentially a great extension ... Unfortunately, having the signature appear at the bottom renders it practically useless.

Nice idea and a good start, but it could be easier to use. It needs an option to retrieve program output directly without writing shell scripts to do all the work for it.

Unfortunately useless if your sig is at the top below your reply - like most people do - because it puts it at the bottom. Please fix this!

Needs to allow signatures at the top, as an option.

I use this to change the signature based upon the recipient or mailing list, and it works as advertised. And since I think top-posting is a bad habit, this add-on helps me to break that habit.
The FAQ helped me understand how the add-on works and to resolve the line break issue.

would be just what I was looking for IF (as other said) it could add signature not only at the bottom at replies.
Please fix it and I get back for a 5 star rating

Otherwise looks great for bottom sig people. Wish I could use it!

I agree. Great Add-on, but I add signature after reply as do most people I know. It is of limited usefulness to me in its present form - would be perfect with this one change.
