            Bug ID: 3908
           Summary: Automatically changing the signature from the Compose
                    window
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: other
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: UI/Compose Window
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: den_ml at posteo.de

I have several accounts and some of them use different signatures (for one
thing, I use different languages, so I need signatures in these languages).
There are two ways of auto-inserting them:
1. Through checking "Automatically insert signature" in account preferences.
2. Through checking the option "Use template when composing new message" and
inserting "%as" in the template.

However, the first way inserts the signature only in the end of the message, so
it's not good for me: when I reply to messages with quotes, I need to have my
message and my signature above the quote. So I insert the signature through the
use of templates:

"%X
%as"
for new messages and

"%X
%as
On %d
%f wrote:

%q"
for replies

This is where the problem arises: Claws Mail inserts the "templated" signature
only when it first creates the message (when you click "Compose" or "Reply").
When in "Compose" window, you can change the account you are writing from, but
the signature remains the same (from the account that was chosen when you
clicked "Compose" or "Reply"). That's bad because, first, you may change your
mind about what account you are going to write from, second, when replying,
Claws Mail may choose a wrong account (e.g. when replying to Claws Mail mailing
list, it selects my Russian account).

If you use the first way of auto-inserting the signature, then Claws Mail
correctly changes it when you select a different account. But this way it
inserts the signature in the end of the message, so outside of Claws Mail
mailing list it's not the desired behavior for me. If both ways are used, then
two copies of the signature are inserted.

So, it would be nice if this problem was somehow addressed.
