I figured that it isn't attaching the signature file. That is the error.

Ah, but it ISN'T...at least it isn't sending out what your recipe is
telling it to send out because of the error.
So, why did the error come up if it sent it anyway?
I was surprised you needed to ask the initial question because I thought
it was painfully obvious. And the missing piece here is equally obvious to me
by simply reading through the recipe. What worries me is that it's starting
to dawn on me that you may have pulled a cut-and-paste operation without
understanding what the recipe is _supposed_ to do and _how_ it is supposed to
do it, which is always a really bad idea. I think the guy who wrote this
recipe wanted to do something you don't necessarily want it to do, and
because you didn't take the time to understand what the recipe is doing, you
are getting a possibly unnecessary error.
Here's what I want you to do - I want you to go through the recipe
step-by-step and tell me what each section is doing. Break it down by
process, and tell me what EVERY PART of the recipe is trying to accomplish.
If there are ANY parts you don't understand, note it, and I'll help you
understand what's happening in that section.
Once we walk through what that recipe is trying to do, I'm pretty sure
you'll understand why you're getting the error, and even how to fix it.
Charlie (who really _hates_ the idea that you aren't looking
for a Precedence: of junk or list, which means you'll
send your autoresponder out once to any mailing list
you're on...on any of _my_ lists, that is enough to
get the address kicked off immediately)
