Evolution connector (MS Exchange) accounts don't keep signature

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: Evolution doesn't remember the signature assigned to a connector-based account after restarting Evolution. It remembers other signatures fine. The signature exists and can be selected manually. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): evolution-connector-2.2.2-5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up an evolution-connector (MS Exchange) account 2. Create a signature 3. Choose Edit --> Preferences --> Mail Accounts --> <exchange account> 4. Set the created signature as the default 5. Exit Evolution 6. Start Evolution 7. Compose a message Actual Results: Message has no signature Expected Results: Message should default to the signature set up in Preferences Additional info:
Just a "me too" with the latest Evo builds: evolution-webcal-2.2.1-1.fc4 evolution-2.2.3-1.fc4 evolution-connector-2.2.3-1.fc4 evolution-data-server-1.2.3-1.fc4
Also worth mentioning here that generally setting any kind of preferences in Evo may affect autocompletition and contacts through GAL. The entries (Global Address Book and Contact) simply go away. Bottom line, latest builds of Evo related stuff unfortunately work and feel exactly the same as the previous ones - all the bugs appear to be there.
And I'll add a me too as well. Additionally :- If I create a new Signature with the "Add New Signature..." in the connector preferences (instead of Composer preferences), select that signature and then restart evolution the signature does appear in my 'New Messages' but is not selected in my connector preferences. If I restart evolution again, then the signature no longer appears in my messages, regardless of whether I've been into the connector preferences the previous reboot.
The new packages that have just been uploaded (2.2.3 for evolution, 1.2.3 for evolution-data-server) have fixed this for me.
Ok - I spoke too soon. The new packages haven't fixed it. Worked for one reboot and has now stopped again. Signature problem is now exactly as before.
