Description Michiel Papenhove 2006-04-25 08:36:05 UTC 
I would like to be able to NOT add a signature when I reply to someone's mail. I
only would like to see signatures added to new mails I compose.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-04-25 11:26:54 UTC 
different from bug 229117. bad summary. ;-)
please use "mailer" when it's about the mailer, thanks in advance. :-)
Comment 2 Kandepu Prasad 2008-08-27 13:47:40 UTC 
I prefer there would be separate settings for both as it is in outlook.
1. Signature for new mail and 
2. Signature for reply/forward mail)

So that one can set their signature only for new mail and not for reply/forward mail at all or can set another signature for reply/forward mail.

Comment 6 Milan Crha 2017-06-22 13:24:37 UTC 
I added Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->General tab->Include signature in new messages only, which is off by default (no change from current behaviour). Once enabled, reply and forward messages do not add signature unless explicitly picked from the signature combo box on the right of the From combo.

Created commit a7194c3 in evo master (3.25.4+)
Comment 7 Milan Crha 2018-01-08 17:55:09 UTC 
A user reported [1] that the option doesn't always work. It turned out that when the account was the default account (or preselected in the composer after it had been opened), then the signature had not been removed from the message body. It's fixed with the below change:
