But the box is checked. So apparently I have two options, via the cp.

1. Never show a sig.

2. Always show a sig unless I remember to uncheck the box.

Correct?

Never mind. I selected “Don’t show anybody’s sig”, not just mind.

Ok, so there is nowhere to turn the default to “Don’t show sig”, right? You either have to delete it or remember to check the box?

I bumped this, so that I could test my sig.

With box unchecked.

What is neat is that if you preview it shows whether the sig is being shown or not. 🙂
