%cursor or %X is for the cursor, %as for the signature. You can get more

You have to disable this when adding the signature to your template.

I know a lot of people who produce TOFU (for the English speaking
that do not understand: this is the German short form for "Text above,
full quote below") just because the do not know how to do it right. Sadly it
is common in German business mails.
