How about treating the file to be included as the signature to be like a
header field, i.e. the file name could be displayed/changed on the header
menu.  If you did not like elm's choice you could change it (this would allow
you to have special purpose signatures based on other criteria than
remote/local).  If you did not want to use one of the "standard" signitures,
then you could change it for the outgoing note so that there would be no
automatically included signature, but you could return to the editing of the
outgoing note and explcitly include the necessary signature file (with
whatever changes you deem appropriate :-)
