[PATCH] emacs: bugfix notmuch-mua-reply when signature is present

From: "Geoffrey H. Ferrari" <geoffrey.ferrari at oriel.oxon.org>

When composing a reply, notmuch-mua-reply tries to be smart and cite
the original message by inserting it before the user signature, if
one is present. However, the existing method of backward searching
from the end of the buffer to find the signature separator and then
moving one line up results in the original message being cited in
the message headers. That's because at this point the message looks
like this (with | representing point after searching for the
signature separator):

From: xxx
To: xxx
Subject: xxx
--text follows this line--
|--
My fancy signature

With this patch, a newline is opened instead, so that the orignal
message is cited above the signature but still in the message text.
