I have exactly the same sentiments. Further, the signature does not
appear in the copy of the message saved, while this is good to save
space, however, I can never tell which signature was sent with which
message. (Oh Sure, I should figure it out from the To: and CC: lines in
the saved message...)

Whatever, an option to edit the signature MUST be provided. If it is
attempted to provide a solution to all signature requirements... you'll
never make it.  I had a map in my .exrc for vi that replaced my remote
signature with my local signature at PL7 for messages going to
different machines within our company. I didn't mind hitting 1 key to
do that !!
