Yes, it seems to be a bug (because the doc string of the user option
mail-signature says nil means no signature is inserted, even if
mail-signature-file exists and is readable.  But it's a very old bug,
and the code installed 14 years ago by Glenn (CC'ed) explicitly
handles nil and t the same, not sure why.

Glenn, any comments?
