Ok, I tried the following :-

note ONLY localsignature is defined, remotesignature is blank.

sent mail locally, vi showed my signature in the mail, I added a line
of text, sent it, the mail received had two sigs on the bottom :-

msg line
--
.sig
--
.sig


I removed the localsignature definition, therefore both localsignature
and remotesignature are blank.

sent mail locally, vi showed no signature in the mail, I added a line
of text, sent it, the mail received had NO signature on the bottom.

This means to me that it is generated twice from the localsignature 
varaible in elm.

Anybody got any ideas? ( running ELM2.2 PL10. )
