[rt-users] UI Patch - Add whitespace at top of MessageBox if it's a reply/comment

[Jo Rhett]

This is patching the wrong way, but it's the right decision.  I'm  
hating having to manually move the cursor in front of the signature  
and end a newline before typing.

I think the right patch would be to add the whitespace at the same  
place that "-- \n" is added to the beginning of the signature.  This  
is only added if the signature exists, and thus would be the easy fix.
