Haven't tried Linux or Mac but Alec suspects that the same will occur.

Overview: The signature is not appearing in a new message.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Account Settings and select an Identity panel
2. In the Identity panel select the checkbox for a signature
3. Select the "Choose" button and select a signature
4. Select the "OK" button to close Account Settings
5. Select the "New Msg" button

Actual Results: Notice that the signature does not appear. Go back to the 
Identity panel and notice that the path to the signature file references a URL. 
If I delete the URL and type in an absolute path such as "C:\sig.txt" then the 
signature appears in the new message.

Expected Results: After selecting the "Choose" button to select a signature 
file, the signature should automatically appear when creating a new message.
If this is not fixed then it should be Release Noted.

I have a two-line fix for this in my tree, which only affects the choose button
for signatures. VERY low risk.
Basically we were setting the "nativePath" part of the nsIFileSpec, instead of
the "URLString" part.

*** Bug 29197 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I just discovered a related bug (happens whether or not this bug is fixed) that
I'll file a bug for - if you are on an identity panel, then switch to another
server in the same panel that does not have a signature, the signature value
gets pulled over from the other server.
I'll file a bug on that...
