Side-effect of "sticky" signatures Bugs

If users have HTML in their signatures, upon selecting "sticky", their sig-text gets appended to their comment text, and then run through the HTML-trans filter.

The sig-block should probably be processed separately from the comment block, because IMHO, when selecting "HTML" or "Plain-text", you're describing how the comment should be processed, not the signature.

Plus, a poll. IMHO, you can't change your signature on email messages that you've mailed out, so retroactive sig-changes should be removed. However, retroactive changes does allow the benefit of providing a constantly up-to-date email address, even in old comments. All the widgets on comment-entry are starting to make it look a little imposing to new users, perhaps the "retroactive" part could be accomplished by moving "sig" into the grey box above comments. (for great justice, of course ;^)=

If you have lots of HTML in your sig and choose sticky+ plain text you get messed up stuff like this. Not good at all...
