Variable: mail-signature

mail-signature is a customizable variable defined in sendmail.el.gz.

Value

t

Documentation

Text inserted at end of mail buffer when a message is initialized.

If nil, no signature is inserted. If t, it means to insert the contents of the file mail-signature-file. If a string, that string is inserted.
 (To make a proper signature, the string should begin with \n\n-- \n,
  which is the standard way to delimit a signature in a message.)
Otherwise, it should be an expression; it is evaluated and should insert whatever you want to insert.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.1.
