I've tried this.  I created a completely different profile using
ProfileManager and then I set up my account in the profile.

I didn't set up everything, I have a lot of settings.  I just put my
main email identity (dan...@pocock.com.au)

I was able to successfully import signatures attached to emails - no
error message

I tried that too, it didn't fix the problem

I can't remember if I have ever done that.  I believe I started using
the enigmail package from about 2010

I have used icedove for a long time, and each time I upgrade Debian and
Icedove, I keep using the same profile.  The oldest file under the
~/.icedove/<profile> directory is from 2007, but I may have had this
profile since before that, I can't remember.

On squeeze, I last used 3.0.11-1+squeeze11 with Enigmail 2:1.0.1-5.  I
stopped using squeeze to run icedove a few weeks ago.

On wheezy, I have 10.0.5-1 and Enigmail 2:1.4.1-2
