It would be nice if the content of message-signature-file could be a
function that could evaluate to the signature file name.

Right now I do this, by using message-signature, but then I have to
have an additional function, like eg.
	(defun signature-get-body (sig-file-name)
	  "Return the contents of sig-file-name, as a string."
	  (save-excursion
	    (set-buffer (get-buffer-create "*mumblefrotz*"))
	    (insert-file-contents-literally sig-file-name)
	    (prog1
		(buffer-string)
	      (kill-buffer nil))))
to get the body text of the signature.
