Hello Jens Wahnes (I mention the surname so this is not becoming to 
confusing for a possible reader)

Thank you that worked for me. But I have one more question:

It says in the prefs.php: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! DO NOT COPY prefs.php 
TO prefs.local.php!
  * Local overrides ONLY MUST be placed in prefs.local.php or prefs.d/.

So as I don't have vhost configuration set up yet, I created the new 
file prefs.local.php and _only_ put these lines in:

> // Show signature on compose screen?
> $_prefs['signature_show_compose'] = array(

Didn't work. Changing the prefs.php directly works fine. Am I taking the 
wrong aproach here?

Kind regards, Jens Hellermann.
