You still need to configure Pine to include the file.  At the main 
screen, select "Configure or update Pine."  Scroll down to "attach 
signature at bottom," and toggle.

    This is not necessary at first.  If you do nothing to your Pine
configuration, then by default it will pick up ~/.signature and insert
it.  You only have to make a change here if you want to use a file
named other than ~/.signature (or if, possibly, you have a .signature
file and do not want Pine to use it automatically).  Using the 
signature-at-bottom option is personal taste, although it was good to
mention it.  (Personally, I wonder why the Pine folks didn't make
_that_ the default.)
