I'd like to append a signature generated by a script to my emails, which
I don't want preformatted. The signature is generated by the fortune
program and I would like the font etc. to match the rest of the
message.
By default Evolution adds a <pre> </pre> pair around the signature. Is
there any way to suppress this?
I had hoped to work around the problem with a script like this:
$ cat Signature.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "</pre>"
echo "All the best - jon."
/usr/bin/fortune $HOME/proj/quotes/quotes
echo "<pre>"
But evolution cleverly works around this by quoting the angle brackets
as shown in the saved email shown below:
$ cat TestOfSignature
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 TRANSITIONAL//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
CHARSET=UTF-8">
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="GtkHTML/4.6.6">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Here a signature:<BR>
<TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD>
<PRE>
--
</pre>
All the best - jon.

<pre>
</PRE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Note that "</pre>" has been converted to "</pre>". Is there any
way around this, or am I well and truly stuck?
BTW: Why all this formatting? In particular, why is the signature
appended as a table?
--
</pre>
All the best - jon.
