At http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~lahvak/software/files/dotvimrc
you can find a few keymappings concerning quoted text and sigs.

I use them myself too ;)

I think it's handy _not_ to have it in the mail-client, because
sometimes you don't want the sig to be cut off. Probably in the case
one sends you random quotes at the end of his sig, and you want to
reply on a quote ;)

| Cool. I'll see that.

I use the following:

set signature="~/.mutt/signature|"

And the script signature looks like:

#!/bin/bash

cat /home/rene/.signature
echo ""
/usr/games/fortune -a -s -n 200
