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 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.
Ciao!
