If I had to chose between having multiple signatures and being able to  
edit signatures at compose time, I would pick multiple signatures  
hands down.
And even though I originally voted for keeping the ability to edit  
signatures, I think Michael has a few very good points that could  
convince me.

Is *displaying* the current identity's signature a viable compromise?  
We would still need some identity switching code, but that would be  
much simpler because it wouldn't involve changing the current compose  
body and Text-HTML-conversion. And it would give the user a visible  
notation of what is going to be sent out. A checkbox next to the  
signature area would still allow him to *not* include the signature  
for individual messages.
