It is not mandatory to have a dot in the filename.  It is convenient
because the "dot" files are hidden when you do ls.  Therefore, you 
can use any text file as your signature file on Unix machines.  I 
have such files: .signature4pine, .signature4scape, signature4knews
for various needs and I specify these files in the respective apps.
I am sure you can be more creative if you want to.
