Ok, I realize that I'm replying to myselves, but here's what I've found out 
after poking around. When you compose an hTML signature, the "add link" is 
available. When you use this signature, you must use it in a rich-text message. 
if you use it in a plain-text message, the link is inactive, The "add link" 
option is unavailable when the message format option in preferences is set to 
plain text.

HtH,
teresaand just shows up as text.
