Okay,
I created a sig with abiword and saved as .txt.
Looks like it works!
Thanks.  I don't kow why it doesn't explain this anywhere.

it say how to create one or what file formats are acceptable.

Merry Christmas, Chappy Channakah, Harambe, Kwanzaa!
Happy Aid al Fitr, Happy Bodhi Day, Merry Solstice!...
