It tries to call $HOME/.signature as a program and then uses the output of that program. I guess that $HOME/.signature is not a program on your system. How about this: (setq message-signature nil message-signature-file "~/.signature") This also happens to be the default. -- file-error; Data: (Opening input file no such file or directory ~/.signature)
