[Evolution] Signature from Script NOT Preformatted

I'd like to append a signature generated by a script to my emails, which I don't want preformatted.  The signature is generated by the fortune program and I would like the font etc. to match the rest of the message. 

By default Evolution adds a <pre> </pre> pair around the signature.  Is there any way to suppress this?

I had hoped to work around the problem with a script like this:
$ cat Signature.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "</pre>"
echo "All the best - jon."
/usr/bin/fortune $HOME/proj/quotes/quotes
echo "<pre>"
But evolution cleverly works around this by quoting the angle brackets as shown in the saved email shown below:
$ cat TestOfSignature
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8">
  <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="GtkHTML/4.6.6">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Here a signature:<BR>
<TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
--
&lt;/pre&gt;
All the best - jon.

&lt;pre&gt;
</PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Note that "</pre>" has been converted to "&lt;/pre&gt;".  Is there any way around this, or am I well and truly stuck?

BTW: Why all this formatting?  In particular, why is the signature appended as a table?

</pre>
All the best - jon.
