Or just

  (setq message-signature "Död åt Tengil")

If you do this _and_ have a ~/.signature file with something
else, it seems `message-signature' wins. Maybe because the
.signature file is read at an earlier point in the Emacs
initialization process, so that gets overwritten when
initialization gets to the above `setq'.

OK, what does that (X-Message-SMTP-Method) do and is it
necessary for Gnus/Gmail? If so it should be added to the
Emacs Wiki.
