Well I finally got the time to mess with this last night after getting Thunderbird to work on both my windoze and MD systems. It now shares the folders correctly and I can read my emails from either side.Resurrecting an old thread here ...

Therefore, with the following script ... #bin bash echo "Chuck Mattsen ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...

So as you can see below I did it. To make this work in TB I had to run it from cron (which I set up to do every minute) and the output of the command goes to a signature.txt file.
