What did you set up in your signature preferences under
Settings->Composer->Signature?

Comment 2 Dams 2003-02-25 10:12:16 UTC
In Settings->Composer->Signature the .signature was an empty signature. So
evolution is surely consistent with itself.
But I think i understand : in evolution 1.0 (like in psyche), there was the
possibility to include a file as a signature. In evolution 1.2 there is no such
ability, instead you can execute a script and make its output as signature. Now,
I think it would be cool to have a default ".signature" signature that would
execute something like a simple `cat ~/.signature`. 

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2003-02-25 20:05:33 UTC
In 1.0, all that setting to a file did was actually read the file in.  The
default signature behavior in 1.2.x is a simple autogenerated signature.  Any
changes to this would have to be made on an upstream level.
