276433 - Thunderbird "Attach this signature" setting does not work when "Send Link" is invoked in Firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 57802

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[hfrosch]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

In Thunderbird Account Settings, "Attach this signature" is checked, and a
signature file is specified.  This works properly when a composition window is
opened in Thunderbird.  However, if "Send Link" is invoked in Firefox, the
message pane opens without the signature.  This happened in V. 0.9 as well as in
1.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click File/Send Link
2. Compose window opens in Thunderbird



Actual Results:  
3. No signature is attached on the message body.
4. This is inconsistent with the normal operation in Thunderbird.

Expected Results:  
1. The text from the signature file is displayed at the chosen insertion point.

Workaround is to simply type it in, of course.  It's annoying, but not onerous.
