0.13.0 should work.  However, there's a trick to it.  The preferences sig slot 
is designed to take an executable, not just a text file.  This is to allow 
"fortune cookie" type sig generators to work.  However, for those of us that 
never set  such a thing up or simply prefer a static sig line, it is a bit 
non-intuitive.  What I did is simply put cat as the executable, followed by 
the sig text file, just as I would use cat on the command line to display the 
file.  That worked fine here, well, until the bug in the latest beta, anyway.
