It depends on what kind of program that you're using. The standard
mail/mailx doesn't handle automatic signaturefiles, but more advanced
mailers like Elm, rmail (under GNuEMacs) and perhaps mh and mush will
handle such features.
I should also point out that rn and Pnews does include the signaturefile
if there is any.
