I am having trouble adding a html signature to my e-mails. I have followed the
instructions to create an html signature explained at
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Signatures. However, when I
compose a new e-mail, the signature in the compose window is nowhere near my
signature. Actually it is exactly like this
-- 
ÿþ<

which should be like this

-------------
My Name
My e-mail

"Çalışmadan, yorulmadan, üretmeden, rahat yaşamak,isteyen toplumlar önce
haysiyetlerini, sonra hürriyetlerini ve daha,sonrada istiklal ve istikballerini
kaybederler." 
-------------

Now I don't know whether using Turkish characters are causing this or not but
everytime I get the same result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create html-formatted signature as described at
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Signatures
2. Under Tools>Account settings point to the signature file.
3. Try to compose a new e-mail, and there you are

Actual Results:  
As described above, original signature is replaced by silly characters

Expected Results:  
Insert my original html formatted signature without altering it!
