Horde: Patch for putting email signature above the reply
Hi,
I didn't knew this, but it seem there is a very strong debate in the Horde developers about the correct position of the email signature in replies and forwards.
Some say:
- it should be at the end of everything in the email
- below the quoted text
- below the email
- below the reply email
- or below the forward email
Others say:
- it should be at the end of the reply email
- but above the original (first) email
- or above the forwarded email
- and afterwards should come the text of the original email
Some say:
- In Thunderbird, the config option explicitly says
- "Place my signature... below the quote (recommended)"
- And Gmail puts signatures at the bottom of the message by default.
Others say:
- that is true
- but Thunderbird and Gmail offer the option to select the signature position
- and Horde doesn't
Maybe this two examples make it more obvious about what I am talking about:

=============================================
I don't want to enter this debate because I think there are more knowledgeable persons about this than me.
However, I would like to have the option to choose.
The problem is that Horde doesn't let me choose.
It forces me to use the signature below everything in the email.
So, I found out that one man named Joao Veiga created a patch that solves this (in Imp 6.2.2, Horde 5.2.20), which I believe is the current stable release.
As the patch creator says:
[QUOTE]
the patch modifies these files:
lib/Basic/Compose.php
lib/Compose.php
lib/Dynamic/Compose/Common.php
lib/Dynamic/Compose.php
The other is placed in /etc/horde/imp/prefs.d, to add the option in
the prefs page (note that if you have other custom prefs "identities",
it has to be edited to include them, as it overrides the
['identities'>['members'>
============================================= Link to check the current stable releases of Imp and Horde: ============================================= The problem is that this patch was built for Debian and my server is running Centos 7. So, I would like to ask if someone could help on converting this patch so it could be used on Centos 7. Is there anybody also interested in making this possible?

While you are able to add patches/customizations to the horde implementation, cPanel does not support this. You might find better answers to this query here as well: Support - The Horde Project 0 -
This will stay open in the event that someone has any further insight on the issue as well. 0 -
