When replying to emails, I want it to be like this:

Hi, Foobar, very good idea indeed.
---
Regards, Username

On Jan 15, Wed FooBar wrote:
>blah blah
> blah blah blah

But instead mutt does this by default, and I haven't found an option to change it:

On Jan 15, Wed Foobar wrote:
>blah blah
>blaaaaaaah

Ok, glad to hear that, see you soon, bye.
---
Regards, Username

So, how do I do it?

From man muttrc (it is self-explanatory):

sig_on_top

Â Â Â Â Â Type: boolean

Â Â Â Â Â Default: no

If set, the signature will be included before any quoted or forwarded text. It is strongly recommended that you
do not set this variable
unless you really know what you are doing, and are prepared to take some heat from netiquette guardians

_{Note: you are doing no-one any favours by top posting.}

Note: you are doing no-one any favours by top posting. - yes, can't be stressed enough.
