I think this code that follows is bad style in so many ways, but something like this. I guess you would use a backward search for sig separator function instead but this works for now: (defadvice message-goto-signature (after message-goto-signature activate)(progn (previous-line)(previous-line))) -- important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday. ~Dennis Gabor, Innovations: Scientific, Technological and Social, 1970
