You can also try to create a file in that /home/pc/.config/evolution/signatures just to see whether the files can be really created there. By the way, you just hijacked a thread. Do not start new conversation by replying to an existing (and totally unrelated) message and change the subject, it's not enough. Rather click the address of the mailing list to really start a new thread.

Re: [Evolution] Signatures are not saved
John, Thanks for your feedback. Yes, I am using the "Signature" tab under "Composer Preferences", and when clicking on the "Add" button I get the "Edit Signature" window. After entering the field "Signature Name" and the signature itself in the edit window, I click on "Save and Close" (or select the associated menu option) and the window closes. However, although the title of the saved signature appears in the "Signature" window, when I select the title nothing appears in the edit window. If I try to click on the "Edit" button when the signature title is selected, I get the "Add Script" window instead. I went to the folder home/pc/.config/evolution/signatures and, sure enough, it was empty. When trying to save the signature following the above method, nothing is added to that folder. The folder permissions are pc:pc so I don't thing this is what is preventing evolution from saving in that folder. Any ideas? Thanks, Paulo On Wed, 2019-01-23 at 13:10 -0500, Dr. John H.

[Evolution] Signatures are not saved
Hi, I cannot make signatures to work. They do not get saved at all. > Edit > Preferences > Signature Tab > Add - Opens the Edit Signature window and let me create a signature - I wrote "test" as "Signature Name" and "signature goes here" as a dummy text in the signature window. - Clicked on the Arrow button to save and close (also tried the menu option) - "test" appears listed in the "Signatures" window, but selecting it does not show the dummy text, just a blank window - Added the signature to an account and wrote a message. The signature's name appears as an option, but adding it does nothing. - Send the message to myself and double checked nothing was included as signature. If I try to click "Edit" on the Signatures tab when "test" is selected (or any other signature), instead of an edit window I get the "Edit Signature Script" window asking me to input a file... I repeated the above many times, with plain text, with HTML text, etc. All to no avail. I am either missing something very obvious or have a broken permissions system (unlikely since everything else works). Please, let me know what am I missing and/or how to repair it.
