I *can* stop signing most messages by default, I just started doing so 
because it seemed like the right thing to do. Of course I'd rather see 
people push the developers of their e-mail clients to improve the 
software so that it does something more intelligent!

Yes. Mozilla Mail makes this very non-intrusive; I now use it for both 
Linux and Windows, since I still live in a cross-platform world ;) I'm 
guessing that the other e-mail clients you listed do a good job with 
this as well (I know that several of my co-workers use KMail and swear 
by it).
