OK, but that is hardly useful in the context of this thread. Since I
cannot simply tell Mozilla/Seamonkey/Thunderbird to insert the result of
running uptime, I can hardly tell it to execute "read sigline".

The end result must be a file, and I do not know if a named pipe
qualifies as a file in mozilla's language. If it does, then I can just
insert "sig" as the signature file, but I am not prepared to go through
the exercise. I will leave that to Hylton, if he is interested.
