Using Evo 1.4.3 "Tools/Settings" and the "Composer Preferences" there's a "Signatures" tab. On this panel there's an "Edit" button. If I use "Edit", change the sig in what looks like a new email except it's just the sig, the changes I make there show up in ~/.signature when I more it. Were ~/.sig* a link, Evo would have removed the link. If it wasn't a link Evo just updates ~/.sig*. The situation is this - now that I know Evo uses _my_ file for its sig I can deal with it. But my Pine script (obviously) now will not work since it's expecting links. Or if I use rmail/Gnus I'll be getting an non-rmail/Gnus sig. Can I now go back and make changes to everything else to satisfy Evo? Sure, but it's just irritating when apps commandeer user files that don't belong to them. If commandeering ~/.sig is old behavior, I don't know anything about that. I'm just reporting what I (continue to) see w/r1.4.3. If there's some evo/ file you want me to check I'm happy to. I grep'd -r evo/ and find no reference to ".sig". If there's somewhere else I should be checking then you'd need to let me know because I have no idea where it would be. > I added a signature just then and it goes nowhere near ~/.signature. > > > Granted this isn't how it happened w/r1.2(?) but the idea's the same - > > Evo uses ~/.sig*... > > I did a grep on the code and '.signature' exists nowhere inside > evolution's source tree. AFAIK grep won't catch "." w/o escaping (although I'm betting you know that)...
