Not necessary. There are at least 2 ways to avoid that in Pine and, I
presume, other mailers. One, used by a colleague of mine, does invoke the
automatic signature block whenever he composes a new message. He just
pushes it down and types the message above it.
My own approach is even more flexible. I do not use the automatic
signature block function. Instead I used my editor to create several
signature block files, each to be used for a different type of message
(e.g., two for messages to two different lists I run or help run, one
general for use when I am writing to someone outside my institution, and
one brief one for use in-house. When I complete my message I use CONTROL
R to invoke the appropriate file, which goes wherever I have placed my
cursor.
Here is the sig block for my primary list responsibility.
