No, under "Account Settings" in Tbird, gmx,"[x] Attach the signature from a
file", and that points to ~/.signature. Then I have a script
#! /bin/sh
sigfile=~/.signature
list="$HOME/signatures"
while : ; do
inotifywait -qq "$sigfile"
fortune "$list" > "$sigfile"
done
that replaces the file with a new signature (without the separator) after
every use. I guess Tbird supplies the separator. For example, right now
~/.signature contains
--start--
Here in the US, we are so schizoid and deeply opposed to government
censorship that we insist on having unaccountable private parties
to do it instead.
-- Bill Cole
--end--
The script runs whenever I'm in X. Technically it should run whenever I'm
logged in, but the discrepancy hasn't reared its ugly head yet.

It does. Unfortunately it attaches the same one every time, and you have to
jump through hoops to get a randomized one. This was easier, but I don't
understand why the separator (which I didn't choose) doesn't work.
Something is stripping trailing spaces when it shouldn't, maybe the same
thing that wraps other text.
Just for kicks:
This line has no trailing spaces.
This line has one trailing space.
This line has two trailing spaces.
