If you include in your signature the special token _CURSORPOS_, you can
choose where the cursor is placed when replying.

Using what seems to be your signature as an example, you would change it
to everything between the lines of hyphens here:

---------------------------------------
_CURSORPOS_

Combine it with the signature-at-bottom option, and it should behave as
you want.
