Hope I'm not butting in but being OP I'm wondering if I'm the one you're
referring to as 'tricking' Evo?  If so, (IMO) a user doing something
with a _user_ file that no one app owns isn't what I'd consider a trick.
And editing a user file such as ~/.sig doesn't constitute an
undocumented feature.  ~/.sig is a _user_ file - not an Evo file.

If you want the story from the horse's mouth, OP said nothing about
making Evo use links for ~/.sig.  OP said Evo wiped out an existing
~/.sig link and took over the file for itself.  Uncool (IMO).

But if you weren't referring to OP, never mind...
