something like: [littler@littlebox littler]$ cat .signature echo Ryan;echo ---;uname -s -r;echo on an;echo AMD Athlon 1400MHZ Processor with 512MB Ram;echo ---;uptime Make sure you: chmod +x .signature There's tons of variations you could use, i've seen some pretty exotic ones out there, mines pretty simplistic. I know it works with mutt and most "old-school" email clients I've been told it works with CSC (Cyber Space Cowboy Mail) which is supposed to be an excellent evolution-like client, but haven't gotten around to trying it. As you can see with evolution it doesn't work :( Ryan -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCC$/CS d+(d-) s: a?
