There's another problem with signatures and blank lines, which may or may not be related. For me, it is easy to reproduce (Evo 1.2.1): 1. Open a new message window, usually for me it's a reply so it has quoted text (make sure you've got a signature selected). 2. Run 'killev' in a shell 3. Restart Evolution 4. Open a new message window; this will trigger the 'Evolution found unsaved work' (I forget exactly what it says) message. 5. Say "YES", you want to recover unsaved messages; you can discard the new, empty message. 6. go to step 2; repeat several times
Every time you kill and restart Evolution, the program will insert blank lines between the message text and the "--" of the sig. Since I leave Evolution running 24/7, usually have a message in progress that it may take me a few days to finish answering, and have to killev and restart Evo at least once a day, I have seen this happen many times. I currently have a message with more than a full page of blank lines before the "--". Note that all these blank lines are inserted _within_ the 'marching ants' dotted-line box of the signature. I will file a bug report with the text of this e-mail if you like. If you are unable to easily reproduce it, I will investigate further. I don't think it depends on what signature I use. --Eric On Mon, 2003-02-03 at 02:50, Radek Doul�k wrote: > Hi Lane, > > try to create new signature with signature editor.
