Checking the check_sig function in pager.c reveals that after a signature delimiter, mutt will treat up until 4 lines as a signature "no matter what"; after the 4th line, every subsequent line is part of the sig until a blank line is encountered.. This is what the code tells me, and strokes with my experience.
