I guess if we were to second guess every API in the world we'd be here
from now to eternity :-;

But one solution emailed to me kindly by Nikolas is:

,----
| (defun message-goto-end-of-article ()
|   (interactive)
|   (unless (re-search-forward message-signature-separator nil t)
|     (goto-char (point-max))))
| 
| (defun message-cite-before-point-original-without-signature ()
|   (message-cite-original-without-signature)
|   (message-goto-end-of-article))
| 
| (setq message-cite-function
|       'message-cite-before-point-original-without-signature)
`----

This searches for the regexp which define a .signature.
