A decent newsreader will do it for you - or even an indecent one with the
right plugins!

I use a thing called "OE-Quotefix" in conjunction with Outlook Express. It
automatically removes signatures, and leaves the cursor at the *bottom* -
just ready for typing your reply without any danger of top posting.

Quotefix is a free program (Google for downloading details) which attaches
itself to OE, and needs very little setting up - although it does have setup
options which you can use if you like.
