Sure, I won't deny that the Mail Shield setting would be harder to find, but making the Mail Shield setting completely useless is just a bug!
There's several issues I see here:
- "Enable Avast email signature" and "Insert note into clean message (outgoing)" control two different settings, rather than controlling the same setting.
- "Enable Avast email signature" overrides "Insert note into clean message (outgoing)", making the latter useless.
- "Enable Avast email signature" defaults to true, regardless of the current state of "Insert note into clean message (outgoing)".
Admittedly points 2 and 3 would become moot if point 1 was fixed. Either that or "Insert note into clean message (outgoing)" should just be removed (which would also be confusing, since then the settings for controlling signature insertion in received messages would be in a different place to sent messages!).
I'm honestly really annoyed that "Enable Avast email signature" overrode my current behaviour. It just reads like "let's punish the users who knew where the Mail Shield setting was, by re-enabling the signature, and making the old setting useless... nothing like some free advertising!".
