How can I move my message to the top when replying in Thunderbird?

In Mozilla Thunderbird, when replying to a message, you can have your reply inserted above or below the original message. Here is how to change your reply location:
While logged in to Mozilla Thunderbird, click on the menu and click on . On the left-hand menu, select the option under your email account, which will bring up that section on the right. You will see the option Automatically quote the original message when replying. Check this box and then click on the drop down arrow for the 3 reply options:
"start my reply above the quoted text"
"start my reply below the quoted text"
"select the quoted text"
Select the option you prefer and then click OK to close the Account Settings window

•Tools -> Account Settings -> Select your identity
•Click the "Manage Identities" button at bottom right
•Select your identity and click the "edit" button
•Select the "Composition & Addressing" tab
•Under "Composition", check "Automatically quote the original message when replying", followed by "start my reply above the quote", and place my signature "above the quote"

•Tools > Options > Advanced > Select the "General" tab
•Click on the "Config Editor" button at bottom right to reveal a window with your preferences.
•Type "mail.identity.id" into the search bar to reveal a listing of e-mail identities.
•Find the entry containing your identities e-mail address (they are listed numerically from top to bottom in your account settings). For example, "mail.identity.id1.useremail" will correspond to your first identity.
•Find the "mail.identity.id1.sig_bottom" entry.
•If it reads "true", double-click on it to switch it to "false"
Here's a tip to help eliminate tearing your hair out: after applying the workaround - Do NOT access the TOOLS -> ACCOUNT SETTINGS -> MANAGE IDENTITIES window as outlined under "Thunderbird signature placement options" above.

•Tools > Options > Advanced > Select the "General" tab
•Click on the "Config Editor" button at bottom right to reveal a window with your preferences.
•Type "mail.identity.id" into the search bar to reveal a listing of e-mail identities.
•Find the entry containing your identities e-mail address (they are listed numerically from top to bottom in your account settings). For example, "mail.identity.id1.useremail" will correspond to your first identity.
•Find the "mail.identity.id1.sig_bottom" entry.
•If it reads "true", double-click on it to switch it to "false"
