Nope. If you want mail-signature to insert a file, you do
(setq mail-signature t)
(setq mail-signature-file "~/.your-signature-file")
mail-signature-file defaults to "~/.signature".
A (silly) portability issue exists between XEmacs and Emacs if you use
this mechanism. One (Emacs) inserts the "-- " and the other (XEmacs)
doesn't. :-(.
You always want to have a standard "-- " before a .signature so that
smart readers like Gnus can hide them if desired.
