Hmm.. this is more complicated than I first thought. the commands
after the first do not wait until BBEdit finishes writing to run.
So, I can try and throw something through fmt, then attach the
signatures, but they all execute too soon.
"man bbedit" is your friend.
-w, --wait
Yeah, I did find that. Oddly, it's not necessary unless I am doing
something else to the file also, because slrn waits until you confirm
to actually send the file. By that time, BBedit has written it so the
right file gets sent.
I was using just bbedit '%s' before, and hat worked just fine, as long
as I was happy with a static signature and manually wrapping the posts
each time.
You could make a simple script (bash) that might look like this
bbedit -t "NNTP POSTING" --new-window -w $1
fmt -w 72 -m $1 > $1.tmp
cat $1.tmp `/opt/local/bin/fortune ~/mysigs` >$1
rm $1.tmp
Right, that's essentially what I ended up with, before seeing that fmt
simply mangled the headers of the posting.
set post_editor_command "FILE='%s';cp $FILE ${FILE}.new;bbedit -w --
new-window +%d ${FILE}.new;fmt -m -72 ${FILE}.new > $FILE;/opt/local/
bin/fortune ~/mysigs >> $FILE"
$ cat .article.new

The body gets wrapped, but the headers are completely hosed.
I thought vim/nvi has a 'rewrap' command... wonder if there is some
way to pipe the file through vim... I may have to pull out my perl
book. Horrors!
