if you want something to be placed in each message you send or at least to have the option and that something is always the same or you'd like to select from several things and don't want to have to type them in all the time, a signature file will make this possible. I think in pine, you can only specify one. it usually holds something like your name and email address and any other information you'd like to have your self associated with. In pine, you can also configure where the signature will appear. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shaun Oliver" <shauno@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2001 8:53 AM Subject: signature files. hi guys. could someone explain to me the significance of a signature file? I'm not sure whether to specify one for pine or not. if it does what I think it does, I'll create one. thanks in advance Shaun.. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
