320198 - When switching identity in composition window opened from Send Page and Send Link, new signature is appended rather than replacing default

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 218346

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Lewis Rosenthal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051209 MultiZilla/1.8.1.0u SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051209 MultiZilla/1.8.1.0u SeaMonkey/1.5a

File | Send Link and File | Send Page open a composition window. If the identity is changed to a different one with a different signature, instead of replacing the signature from the default identity, the new signature is appended to the end of the message. "Normal" composition windows (i.e., those opened from Reply or Compose) function as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a page in the browser.
2. Select File | Send Link... (or File | Send Page...) from the menu.
3. On the From: line in the composition window, click the drop button to select a different identity which has a signature file defined.

Actual Results:  
New signature is appended to the end of the message, beneath the original signature.

Expected Results:  
The original signature should be replaced by the new one.

I've only recently started using alternate identities, mainly to switch between signatures (my wife doesn't need all my professional data, and neither does everyone else in the office). As such, I can't tell whether this is a regression or whether it has been around since we've had multiple identities.

Maybe related to Core bug 218346?

Yep, the description is very much the same as that one and as the one of its duplicates.

Yes, I should have thought to search on "multiple sig." Nice catch, guys.
