Hm, ok, well that is .. hm. |Signature is clear. message-inject-tail is complicated. Except for groff caused copy+paste problems because it uses symbols which do not map to the syntax elements we expect (hyphen instead of hyphen-minus, whatever instead of single quote, etc); The replacement should only be a copy+paste thing. We will have this in the default nail.rc and the manual in v14.10 #\define add_signature { # \read version # \echo '~< ~/.mysig' # or '~<! fortune pathtofortunefile' #} #\set on-compose-splice=add_signature and the manual states Here is an example that injects a signature via message-inject-tail[468]; instead using on-compose-splice[492] to simply inject the file of desire via ˜<[315] or ˜<![316] may be a better approach. for a very long time. |> I really want to have this go. | |Yes, I can tell :-) We must shrink again. |> It is obsoloted for over half a decade, without anyone complaining |> about it! | |But it has continued to work.

I find the above not overly complicated. No Stephen, if people want to use S-nail and insert a signature file, the above five lines will do it. Sorry! Greetings to America.
