There is just a "--" line with nothing under. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. evolution & 2. ctrl-n (for a new mail to send). 3. Select ".signature" for the "Signature:" entry Actual Results: the file is not included. Expected Results: I should see the ~/.signature file content Additional info: My ~/.signature file is not empty.
What did you set up in your signature preferences under Settings->Composer->Signature?
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`.
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.
