Of course, I misspoke about the signature. I often see *some* formatting (such as some text aligned to the left and some other text aligned to the right, same line). But you are right, .signature file is only written once and I am looking for a simple way to write email with some minimal ASCII formatting. This is why I am looking for an automatic solution. I do not want to do ASCII art, I am only searching a simple way to do something close to the debian-annouce emails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Debian Project https://www.debian.org/ Updated Debian 11: 11.6 released pr...@debian.org December 17th, 2022 https://www.debian.org/News/2022/20221217 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ How this header is generated?
