      I have been having a similar problem with gnus.  I think gnus
      and inews are both appending my .signature file.  Anyone want to
      tackle this one?

   This is true.  On a system using a local news spool, with an
   ordinary 2.11.x inews, inews itself will add your .signature to all
   articles.  Unfortunately, GNUS also wants to add .signature for you
   . . .
   I have resorted to a fairly disgusting hack on 3.1[012], each time
   a new one has come out, so that GNUS does not, by default, do this.
   . . .

Perhaps this letter I received would be of benefit to the net:

From: wgb%tntdev.tnt.COM%cs.utexas.edu%harvard.uucp%ll-xn.uucp@usc.edu (William G. Bunton)

   (setq gnus-signature-file nil)		;; inews does it automagically
