#!/bin/sh

The help on signature read:

If the filename is followed by a vertical bar (|) then instead of
reading the contents of the file the file is assumed to be a program
which will produce the text to be used on its standard output. The
program can't have any arguments and doesn't receive any input from
Pine, but the rest of the processing works as if the contents came from
a file.

So, don't you want:

signature-file          = $HOME/sig|   ?

I don't think you want "./file-name" since you may start pine in more than
one directory.  Also, the | is after the file name as indicated above.

Regards,
Ed
