There's been a lot of discussion about this over time, and yes it's a
feature, but no, it can't be turned off now. It's promised for V2,
IIRC.

Lots of discussion here, too. The current workaround suggested by some
is to turn auto-format/wrap functions on and off while typing using
the keyboard shortcuts. The current function works on the assumption
that a new paragraph is started after an empty line.

As long as you don't edit your .sig manually, it shouldn't be touched
by the formatting functions.

Insert "\n" (without the quotes) in the places where it should wrap.

Has always worked for me in the rare instances I've used it ;)

I still hope never. But probably in V2, IIRC.

It's in Tools/Search, isn't it?

It won't, AFAIK.
