When storing mails as Draft, they are handled different from sent mails.

Drafts are stored in html format, to know all those things like
Signature and stuff. Therefore, you can change those.

Sent mail (which it is in your case) doesn't have those tags. The
signature just is a part of your message.

Editing a message, that came to the Drafts folder as a sent message is
the same, as editing any other sent message (e.g. the sent folder).


So, yes, that is the way this is designed. Cause there is no reliable
way to recognize the signature in a plain text mail.
