If you create the signature within the editor provided by Evolution, it
takes care of that for you.

If you write a signature outside of Evolution, then load it via the
Evolution preferences, you need to have created your signature in a
manner that *it* expects (HTML-like, where carriage returns are
ignored).  I think that applies whether it's a plain file or a script.
It certainly applies if it's a script.

HTML treats all white space (tabs, spaces, lines feeds, carriage
returns) as being a single white space (a blank space).  If you want
something else (carriage returns, multiple blank spaces, etc.), you've
got to deliberately do them via some other method than just typing them.

For examples and inforamtion Google search terms:  evolution signatures

That gets you a few things straight away.
