NP.

As it's a script, you even can conf Evolution to run a sript, instead of
a 'file' that really generates a new signature. ;)

Evolution at leas treats signature scripts as HTML internally -- don't
know if plain text signature files are converted. Even when sending
plain/text mail, signature scripts are treatet as HTML and converted to
plain text.

So, maybe you wanna try a script, that generates <br> instead of \n.
Another trick is, to put the signature in <pre> </pre> Tags for Evo.
Although I didn't try that.

FWIW: Try a script, that reads (runs?) your ~/.signature and wrap it in
<pre> Tag. Just to get rid of that manually re-formatting.
