There is a new feature of the Distribution Servlet (technically it's been around for a week or two but it had a nasty bug in it), which is accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8889/disturl.txt . It is a tiny plaintext file that returns the address of the local distribution node, creating one if necessary (obviously it can only be accessed from localhost and the detected IP address). It can be included in a .signature automatically. For example, using mutt, I put in my .muttrc: set signature="~/bin/gensig|" And created the attached script as ~/bin/gensig (you need possibly empty .signature.base and .signature.end files for this to work properly).
Thus I have a distribution node URL automatically attached to my signature every time I send an email. This is something I would like to encourage. -- Matthew Toseland [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED] Full time freenet hacker. http://freenetproject.org/ Freenet Distribution Node (temporary) at http://amphibian.dyndns.org:8889/9sxxdW4EH-c/ ICTHUS.
