Oh, and signature generation works stupidly, too.  Evolution doesn't
set off your script with any special characters (such as, say, the
traditional '-- \n').  Okay, so just modify the script to add those for
stupid email clients that can't add them for me.  Except you can't add
arguments to the script (e.g., --evo), so you have to link it and test $0.
Okay, fine.  Except now Evolution automatically rewraps the signature,
meaning that I can't choose the format, which means that the '-- \n' just
gets put as the first three (because the '\n' gets removed) characters on
the first line of the signature.

So as far as I can tell, if I want to set my signatures off with '-- \n',
like I do in about 3 other email clients, I have to do it individually
with every email I send, which is pretty stupid.  And if I ever want to
have a signature whose wrapping I control, I'm SOL.
