It's looking for a signature file. Either turn off signatures (I
have) or create a signature (even a BLANK signature will work.) In
either case, go to FILE ->SETTINGS ->COMPOSER. Here you can *uncheck*
the "automatically append signature" and under "settings" you can see
what you have set for the signature file.
MY advice is to open a console window and type "touch email.sig" and
then put "/home/josh/email.sig" in the "settings" box where it asks
for the filename of the signature file. :-)
That way you'll always have SOMETHING there and it'll never complain
about a "...directory, not a folder..." again. :-)
