Okay, that's totally reasonable.

No no, that's not what I had in mind! No links!

I was thinking something like this (compose window):

+--------------------------------+
|                                  |   <-- Fields and email options
|                                  |
+--------------------------------+
|                                  |
|                                  |   <-- Text body
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
+--------------------------------+
|                                  |
|                                  |  <-- Non-editable displaying signature
+--------------------------------+

The scrolling of text body would not be affected by the underneath
signature frame.

Also, when the user changes the identity, the signature non-editable
frame would be updated.
