Well, yes, if you have one single never changing signature I can see it might appear useful as opposed to using the built in facilities. But obviously I would feel using built in functions which are part of gnus would be more robust and probably easier for a newcomer. It isolates you from knowing things like signature separator standards etc as well. _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
