I think I could wander around in those results quite a while before I found anything both intelligible and useful. >>> And how would Merciadri invoke it? >> >> By keying "M-x psig RET" (after creating a congenial Sayings file, >> of course). > > You don't auto call it when you send your message? No. > Better I guess if you only attach a .sig rarely. On the contrary, I always attach one. But I have two styles: psig (the one I posted) for personal communications, which calls me Joe and includes my email address & a rotating saying, and bsig for business, which calls me Joseph C. and includes my full address & phone number, but no saying. >>> Far easier to use a file based signature(s) and have gnus include >>> them. >> >> I suspect it would take me longer to find out what "file based >> signature(s)" means than to write the routine I provided, which >> worked the first time and has served me well for many years. Also, as I might have mentioned, the time it takes to key "M-x psig RET" is very much smaller than the time it takes to compose a posting. It is scarcely worth saving. > Well, yes, if you have one single never changing signature On the contrary, the psig one changes every time. Do the built-in facilities provide for that feature? And if so, how would I have found that out? -- --- Joe Fineman [email protected] ||: There is no such thing as a brown light. :|| _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
