I noticed this when I upgraded to 1.2.1, but it doesn't seem to work as I expected. I have a script that puts out my sig as 5 lines. When I use it in in evolution directly, any formatting get stripped out and the sig is turned into one long string. For example, my script puts out: =====================================8<------------------------------ Dwight N. Tovey Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dtovey.net/dwight -- Eagles may soar, but weasles don't get sucked into jet engines. =====================================8<------------------------------ Evolution turns this into: =====================================8<------------------------------ Dwight N. Tovey Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dtovey.net/dwight -- Eagles may soar, but weasles don't get sucked into jet engines. =====================================8<------------------------------ Not what I wanted at all. It was even worse when I used a sig that had two columns of text: =====================================8<------------------------------ Dwight N. Tovey Unix SysAdmin/Developer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gremeg systems Boise, ID. --- Young at Heart -- Slightly Older in Other Places =====================================8<------------------------------ All the extra spaces that the script inserted to keep the right column aligned get removed and the sig turns into: =====================================8<------------------------------ Dwight N. Tovey Unix SysAdmin/Developer Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gremeg systems Boise, ID. --- Young at Heart -- Slightly Older in Other Places =====================================8<------------------------------ So any formatting that my script inserted for me just gets removed by evolution. Am I doing something wrong or is this behavior intentional for some reason? For now I get around it by having a cron job call my script every few minutes and dump the output into a file. I then have evolution configured to use whatever that file happens to have at the moment as my sig. Less than ideal, but I get the results that I want. > Now if I can just figure out how to change the quoting strings to > something more personal - any insight? What did you have in mind? The sig that my script puts out is the three info lines (name, email address, http url), a seperator, and a random line from a file of one-liners. If your interested I could send you the script. /dwight -- Dwight N.
