I thought I had solved the KMail problem, but it's back. I give up! I have installed Thunderbird, and will use that, even tho I liked KMail better.
Does anybody know how to add a "sig" in T-Bird? I had to add the one below by hand. Edit-->Account Settings ....
There are "Signature text" and "Attach the signature from file" settings.
That doesn't seem to work. I found a place to turn off the encryption, and that seems to have worked--I didn't have to uninstall anything. There is no html. But there is no sig. In Linux, there is Preferences, and under that, advanced>config editor and you get a long long list of things you can modify, and I did modify "Default signature_file" to specify my sig, and it shows there, but it doesn't seem to come out on the outgoing mail. In Windows, under tools>accounthko settings, there is a place for a signature text, or to attach a text from a file, as was suggested. Also in Win, there is a choice of reply, reply to list, or reply to all. Reply to list doesn't seem to exist in Linux either. The version I d'l ed today is 2.0.0.24 (20100302) which would seem to make it current.
Rereading the above, maybe what Linux wants is an actual file name and location, rather than the string I typed in. (The list allows "string.") I'll look into that. Do I have to learn yet another mail client? If so, what?

Signatures worked fine for me when I used T'bird. Did you find the entry box for the signature Ed Greshko pointed you to? In T'bird, under the edit tab, menu item account settings, the first entry for each account, where the account name is entered? Don't recall what your original problem with kmail was. I changed from kmail to T'bird and finally to claws-mail when I had trouble with both of the former. It had a short learning curve but I like having the ability to modify it to my liking, mostly.
