There are several ways.

1) The MH way.  In my Mail directory, I have two files that make my
   include my signature into the format of the message.  Here they are:

   ~/Mail/components:
	To: 
	cc: 
	Subject: 
	--------
	
	--
	Eric W. Ziegast         Jr Postmaster - UUNET Technologies
	ziegast@uunet.uu.net    postmaster@uunet.uu.net 

   ~/Mail/replcomps
	body:component="> ",compwidth=2
	:--
	:Eric W. Ziegast         Jr Postmaster - UUNET Technologies
	:ziegast@uunet.uu.net    postmaster@uunet.uu.net 

   In my ~/.mh_profile I have an entry:
	repl: -filter replfmt

   When I use comp, my signature is already there along with my headers.
   When I use repl, the mhl program takes the body of the letter I'm
   replying to, prepends '> ' to each line and then adds my signature
   at the end (look at this message).

2) Using your editor.  If you use vi, you can use something like:
	map S :r ~/.signature
   to load your signature out of a file (.signature) every time you hit
   [Shift-S].

3) Use your windowing system.  I know that xterm under X-Windows can
   can provide key mappings for the utterly lazy.
