Isn't it much easier to write

  set message-inject-tail=$'\nMoney\nGet back\nGrab that cash!'

than to have a dedicated signature _file_?

I really want to have this go.  It is obsoloted for over half
a decade, without anyone complaining about it!

Btw i first only used the standardized *sign* and *Sign*
variables.  They are in POSIX, they were in mailx of the 10th
edition, in 1991.  In fact i do it still, both, and then

  \set message-inject-tail=$sign

Really i want to have this go.  v14.10 will ship better examples,
also for message-inject-tail, with credit to you.

  ? set sign=$'\n  Tony'  Sign=$'\n  Tony\n  I am fixing things!'
  ? set message-inject-tail=${Sign}

Fix it again, Tony!
Ciao.
