        Hi,
having the file owned by root:root, instead of pc:pc, looks a bit
suspicious, despite the "everyone can do everything" attributes.

Okay, that you symlink the files into a mounted partition is kind of
important detail, because it's not the standard way of running
Evolution.

It seems that the code thinks that your signature is a script. That's
recognized by file attributes. Does the file in /mnt/.... have the
executable attribute set? What is the partition type of the /mnt/Mail?
Some can "garbage" file attributes used by Linux systems.
