Steps to reproduce

Send an email
Open sent email
Select Edit As New Message

Expected behavior

Only one signature should be inserted

Actual behavior

Multiple signatures are inserted - 2 signatures if you edit it as a new message once; 3 signatures if you edit it twice, and so on.

Looks silly and unprofessional.

No source file or test is named. Reproduce on Android 8.0.0 with app version 6.603 using the listed Edit As New Message steps, then trace the signature insertion path; done means repeated edits insert only one signature.
