This is off-topic for this list, which is about discussions on the English 
text in documentation.
So my first answer is click on the Help button and see what that brings you.

Reading between the lines I have the feeling you want a signature at the end 
of a message automatically inserted, just plain text. But what you are trying 
to do is to set a keypair to sign/authenticate a message, for this you first 
need to have a personal keypair. See the program Kleopatra and read the 
documentation. The Help button.
