I see what you mean. Is your default .sig set up and pointing to an 
empty file? 

The .sig editor in PMMail isn't very clever as you can't check your line 
lengths very easyly and you have to place the 
<dash><dash><space><cr><lf> separator in yourself. IMHO the sig 
separator should be automatically placed (maybe with an option ti turn 
it on/off on a per .sig basis and there should be a column count or 
other means of checking line length.

It would also be useful if all the .sigs where kept in the same 
directory. As something simple like a phone number change is a PITA to 
do. You either have to use the inbulit editor on each .sig or find the 
files scattered about the place. If they where all in one directory it 
would be simple to grep/rexx a search and replace.
