[MlMt] default signature choice

[Pierre Igot]

Not sure if this is related, but the Signatures pref pane has this weird bug (at least on my system) where the signature you drag up and down is not necessarily the one it says you’re dragging. Effectively, the one that gets dragged around is the one that was highlighted BEFORE you tried dragging it. If you don’t highlight the signature you want to drag first, and then you try to drag a signature that’s not currently highlighted, the proxy that’s drawn on the screen is the one for the signature that’s not highlighted and that you mean to drag, but the one that actually gets dragged is… the one that was highlighted.

In other words, if you want to change the order of your signatures, you need to click on the signature you want to move first in order to highlight it, and THEN and only then you can drag it up or down to move it.

FWIW.

Right now, the signature that you see on this email pops up automatically on every message I send out and I must change it manually from the Signature dropdown if I want a different signature.  All I want to do is make a different signature be the one that populates the message automatically for all recipients.
