Absolutely. The horde/imp/config/prefs.php file may/will be  
overwritten with updates, discarding any local settings. The correct  
way would be to put the following in horde/imp/config/prefs.local.php:

    <?php
    $_prefs['signature_show_compose']['value'] = 1;

An example can be found in the first 25 lines in the  
horde/config/prefs.php file. Please note that the overrides you place  
in this file will only be used when logging in for the first time for  
a user. For existing users to use this default setting, you'll need to  
remove the 'signature_show_compose' preference from the preferences  
stored in the database.
