           Summary: Identity signature added twice in kmail
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mail4ilia at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

I experience a bug similar to apparently fixed bug #261016 under KDE 4.7.1
(Kubuntu backports).
I have multiple kmail identities. I have chosen "Automatically insert
signature" in composer settings. The signature (human, not cryptographic) for
the default identity is not defined, while the signature for the second one is
defined. In composer window I choose the second identity as "sticky". Now when
I start a composer (new email/reply/forward) two signatures of the second
identity are added.

Workarounds to have signature appear only once (any of below):
1. Manually chose other identity in composer window and then choose back
identity 2. This is the same as disabling "sticky" identity, so another
identity is displayed first when composer starts.
2. Define any signature for the identity 1
3. Make identity 2 default. It also makes identity 2 be the first choice in
identity list in composer.

It looks like the necessary conditions to trigger the bug are
1) composer must chose non-first identity upon window creation and
2) first identity does not have a signature

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open Settings->Configure KMail->Identities and define 2 identities Id1, Id2.
- Id1 must be default and has no signature defined.
- Id2 has a signature defined.

Open Settings->Configure KMail->Composer and set "Automatically insert
signature" checkbox.

Start composer (e.g. File->New->New Message).
Choose View->Identity.
Choose Id2 in a combobox (must be the second option, not the first one, I
guess) and click "Sticky" checkbox on the right.
Close composer window.

Start composer (new email/reply/forward).

Actual Results:  
Id2 signature inserted twice.

Expected Results:  
Id2 signature inserted once.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38-11-generic
Compiler: gcc
