I think the only way to do this currently is to edit the galview files
by hand:

~/evolution/config/et-expanded-*

change them from:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<expanded_state vers="2" default="true"/>

to:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<expanded_state vers="2" default="false"/>

you simply need to configure your URL handlers properly in the GNOME
Control Centre to do what you want.

Have you tried creating a new signature and then editing your account(s)
and setting the signature as the default?

Actually, come to think of it... that might be broken in 1.4 as I had to
rewrite that code to get it to work in 1.5. If the above doesn't work,
you can use gconf-editor to edit your gconf settings for
/apps/evolution/mail/accounts and set the signature id manually
(granted, not very user-friendly but it'd work).
