It uses the profile of my MUA only.

In my case only the sig as configured in the MUA appears (Yes, I don't 
have a sig in Pan but I just put one to test).

This is understandable.

It works in all other cases when Pan is not involved.  I tried with Mutt 
and Balsa as well.

Maybe, or perhaps it was a bug in Pan that was fixed (I use 0.129).

It passes only References, and in a buggy way -- see 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=14;bug=391649.  It is 
quite possible that you could be right so it is of course premature to 
blame Pan for this.

(I haven't customized anything -- we use GNOME at work so I'm forced to 
run Evolution as MUA in order to help my colleagues with various issues.)
