Very good, I like it. So now you can do it :-)
I've just released 4.69.5 which can do this.
In your signature's <img> tag, you must have an "alt" attribute which 
contains "MailScanner Signature".

It actually a case-insensitive match on "mailscanner.*signature" so you 
can have anything followed by the word "mailscanner" followed by 
anything followed by the word "signature" followed by anything. So you 
can tweak the text quite a lot and it will still work.

Please can you let me know if this does the behaviour that you want.
