As an alternative, I have proposed at least just the *displaying* of the
signature (i. e., in another frame or something like that), which does not
seem a hard task to accomplish (I mean, pull the signature text from db
backend when selecting the identity in the compose window), specially
because imp, like horde in general, is *extremely* well designed. But since
even that idea was rejected

For the record... this idea wasn't "rejected".  It hasn't been implemented
yet because 1) I don't have any pressing need for it (meaning it will have
to be funded/coded by someone else) and 2) no reasonable UI display has yet
been determined.
Okay, that's totally reasonable.

For the latter, adding some sort of prominent "View My Signature!" link is
not desirable.  But somehow adding some sort of popup link mechanism to the
No no, that's not what I had in mind! No links!

I was thinking something like this (compose window):

+--------------------------------+
|                                  |   <-- Fields and email options
|                                  |
+--------------------------------+
|                                  |
|                                  |   <-- Text body
|                                  |
|                                  |
|                                  |
+--------------------------------+
|                                  |
|                                  |  <-- Non-editable displaying signature
+--------------------------------+

The scrolling of text body would not be affected by the underneath
signature frame.

Also, when the user changes the identity, the signature non-editable
frame would be updated.
This is pretty much what I would suggest for a read-only signature  
display too. The signature section could additionally be toggleable  
(and hidden by default) to not waste the spare screen estate of  
compose windows.
From/Identity line COULD be an option (i.e. popping up a window displaying
basic details about the identity).  That would be non-intrusive to the
current compose screen flow, while allowing those that want to
"double-check" the signature information to be allowed to do that.
