If you're using a recent gnus (you might need the git version for this), you can mess with `message-cite-reply-position' to get different behavior. I've got a clause in `gnus-posting-styles' that looks like this: ("\\(mail\\|mairix\\)" (eval (set (make-local-variable 'message-cite-reply-position) 'above))) That means that replying to anything from a mail group lets me top-post, while replying to news keeps the default behavior.

However, the signature is now also placed above the original message. Assuming you decide to reply "inline" (to certain parts of the message individually), then your reply starts with the signature... This would require to cut the signature and put it in the message foot... Is there any way to solve that?

Come to think of it it would be nice both have the signature at the bottom, and to not add another one at all if one of your previous quoted messages already contains it. I'm crossposting to gnus.general, where we're more likely to get someone who knows… Eric > Cheers, > > Marius > > On 2011-11-28, at 02:07 , Eric Abrahamsen wrote: > >> On Mon, Nov 28 2011, Marius Hofert wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> When replying to a message in Gnus (via "R"), the mail looks like this: >>> >>> <header> >>> --text follows this line-- >>> John Doe <john.doe@foo.com> writes: >>> >>> (*)> Dear ... >>>> ... >>> >>> The point is by default at the position indicated by (*).

For forwarding messages, I found "Message Forward Before Signature" (M-x customize-group, Message Forwarding), it would be nice to have something similar for replies. Another point I realized is that if you reply from an account without signature, I still get the separator "-- " in the beginning of the reply. That might need a fix, too (?).
