Personally I decided years ago that automatic signatures were lame, so I
just sign myself according to context. Just my opinion of course. It
would make sense to allow the default signature to be selectable in the
Composer Preferences, including 'none' as an option.

You could always request it as an enhancement in Bugzilla.

Especially given the number of lusers who can't even be bothered to edit
the quoted material when replying.
