Emacs Version:
    "GNU Emacs 18.51.1 of Wed May 25 1988 on yuban (berkeley-unix)"

Problem:
    I started up emacs with the "-q" flag and then typed "C-x m" to get
into "mail"; POS on the modeline was "All".

    I typed lines into the buffer until I got to the line immediately
above the modeline.  After typing a few characters on the line
immediately above the modeline, and WITHOUT typing a carriage return, I
signed the mail with "C-c C-w" ("mail-signature").  POS was still "All",
although there was now text below the screen.  According to the info on
the "Mode Line":

      POS tells you whether there is additional text above the top of the
    screen, or below the bottom.  If your file is small and it is all on the
    screen, POS is `All'.  Otherwise, it is `Top' if you are looking at the
    beginning of the file, `Bot' if you are looking at the end of the file, or
    `NN%', where NN is the percentage of the file above the top of the screen.

I think the "All" should have been updated to a "Top".  Perhaps "file"
in the documentation above should be replaced with "buffer" also.

    In case it matters the .signature file I used is printed between the
lines starting with 5 asterisks below (my name is preceeded by 8 tab
characters, which may get mangled by mailers, and followed by a carriage
return):
