Thanks for the support!

You should click “Reset Usage History” in the Signatures preferences 
pane to make sure MailMate doesn't remember anything wrong. After you 
add a signature to a new message then MailMate should remember it for 
future messages from the same sending address.

Also, the GUI options described in one of the replies only exist in a 
special 
[2.0BETA](https://updates.mailmate-app.com/2.0/archives/MailMate2Beta.tbz) 
variant of MailMate. It has a few extra GUI options, but is mostly 
identical to the 1.9.x releases.

A single click on the subject in the headers view should also do this.

Searches switch (by default) to “All Messages”. You can setup this 
mailbox for your preferred style.
