I don't have 'rage yet, so I can't try it out, but wasn't there a problem
awhile back with having text disappear if you switched sigs? Does 'rage/OE
simply insert the text of a signature when it's selected? or are there
flags that get set indicating that there's "special" text at the of the
message? Unless taught otherwise I would worry about unexpected behavior
using sigs as templates.
Also, I got a request to include attachments when using the template, which
looks like a feature request that couldn't be handled with sigs.
