Signature disappears when switching identity when writing email
When I switch identity whilst writing an email my signature disappears if I have copy pasted text into the email, but not if I have typed it.
I have set up a signature for both identities.
It is very frustrating as there seems to be no way to add a signature once writing an email only from the account settings.
Any help would be much appreciated.

This occurs because when you copy paste from another document eg: Word, you are inserting a load of html code, most is totally unnecessary, but that is MS for you ! So it overwrites the signature.
There is a work around which works perfectly ok in these situations when you need to reinsert a signature.
I use an addon extension called: Signature Switch
How to Install Add-on Extension: After downloading addon extension *.xpi file to desktop or downloads folder.
In Thunderbird 'Tools' > 'Add-ons' or 'Menu icon' > 'Add-ons'
- Click on gear wheel icon and select 'Install Add-on From File'.
- Locate the *.xpi file you downloaded and click on 'Open'.
- You many need to restart Thunderbird when prompted.
Then you need to put the Signature switch icon onto the Composition toolbar.
- Click on 'Write'
- 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Customise'
- left click and hold down to grab the 'signature' icon and drag it onto the toolbar. Release the mouse to drop.
- close the 'Customise' window'.
See images below.
There will also be signature switch options available under: 'Options' > 'Signature Switch' > 'Options'
where you can add your precreated html signatures.
then use the Signature Switch icon to select a signature. I have one set up in the Account Settings to point to a signature html file, but I created several others which I can swap about and use via Signature Switch.
