            Bug ID: 368045
           Summary: Changing identity doesn't change signature when using
                    --msg or --body
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.10
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com

In KMail2 I have several identities, each of which uses a different signature
file.  When I start composing a new message from within KMail2 (by using the
"New Message", "Reply", or "Forward" commands), then I get a composer window
that gets prefilled (possibly among other material) with the signature of the
default identity.  If I select a different identity from the "Identity"
drop-down box, then the composer  immediately replaces the signature in the
message body with that of the newly selected identity.

However, this feature doesn't work when I create a new message from the command
line using the "--msg" or "--body" command-line options.  In this case,
selecting a new identity does not replace the signature.

I believe this bug is a regression, as I don't recall it happening with KMail1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure multiple identities, each with their own signature file.
2. From the command line, type "kmail --msg some_file.txt" or "kmail --body
'Some message'"
3. In the composer window, ensure that View->Identity is checked.
4. Select a different identity from the "Identity" drop-down box.

Actual Results:  
5. The signature in the message body does not get replaced with that of the new
identity.

Expected Results:  
5. The signature in the message body should get replaced with that of the new
identity.
