As an alternative, I have proposed at least just the *displaying* of the signature (i. e., in another frame or something like that), which does not seem a hard task to accomplish (I mean, pull the signature text from db
backend when selecting the identity in the compose window), specially
because imp, like horde in general, is *extremely* well designed. But since
even that idea was rejected


For the record... this idea wasn't "rejected". It hasn't been implemented yet because 1) I don't have any pressing need for it (meaning it will have to be funded/coded by someone else) and 2) no reasonable UI display has yet
been determined.

Okay, that's totally reasonable.


For the latter, adding some sort of prominent "View My Signature!" link is not desirable. But somehow adding some sort of popup link mechanism to the

No no, that's not what I had in mind! No links!

I was thinking something like this (compose window):

+--------------------------------+

|                                  |

|                                  |   <-- Text body

|                                  |
|                                  |
+--------------------------------+
|                                  |
| | <-- Non-editable displaying signature
+--------------------------------+

The scrolling of text body would not be affected by the underneath
signature frame.

Also, when the user changes the identity, the signature non-editable
frame would be updated.

This is pretty much what I would suggest for a read-only signature display too. The signature section could additionally be toggleable (and hidden by default) to not waste the spare screen estate of compose windows.

+1 ("hidden/shown by default" should be a pref)
