Maybe my reply didn't make it: use ports' mail/nail package. On 4/24/06, D. E.

Re: Mail option
Maybe my reply didn't make it: use ports' mail/nail package. It did. Nail is one option, but seems a bit much for the want of a single option, when the program that ships with OpenBSD will already do. It will be easier (and perhaps a learning experience) to submit a patch to the current Mail, or decide that a signature is something non-standard (or not-yet-standard), and therefore not worth the bother.

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but in the past I've added the -- to my .signature. Technically that's not a correct thing to do, but in practice it worked fine for me. As for the deafening silence / technical merit question: I think it's just a matter of priorities. It's not a problem that is stopping anyone from getting work done. -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
Re: Mail option

Since I use tin for news, and Mail for mail, this would cause a conflict, since tin automatically adds the -- and then appended .signature. As for the deafening silence / technical merit question: I think it's just a matter of priorities. It's not a problem that is stopping anyone from getting work done. Just an inconvenience that seems easily resolved. If I get some time, I'll look into how to add it myself.
