[MlMt] Non-automatic signature

I get your preference here - my request was merely one to see if there 
was a way that MailMate, like other mail applications, could address my 
personal way of preferring email.  I've always preferred to type a 
command or click a button to get a specific signature added.

Unlike you, however, I detest (and never include) phone numbers in 
signatures.  I also do not include it on my business card.  Again, a 
personal preference, but, a phone call is an incredibly rude way to 
communicate for my world.  It's a hard interrupt.  It stops everything.  
It doesn't take into account that the person being called may have other 
(electronic) things they are working on...and, sadly, 99% of the calls I 
get are actually far better addressed by a simple, short, email.

But I work in a highly technical field and having things read out over 
the phone is just silly anyway -- it needs to be documented and 
cut-and-pastable.  If I need to have a call with someone, I can provide 
a contact number, or I can call them -- but I like maintaining that 
option manually.

Anyway, it's just a personal preference thing.  I was hoping there was 
some secret toggle somewhere that would let the stored Signatures in the 
Preferences exist, but only appear when I selected the one I wanted from 
the Signature drop-down in a compose window.

Regards,
Scott
