Err, because that's how it works. And you aren't putting HTML tags into
the script - you are using a script to output HTML tags to the Evolution
editor.

And if you notice your sig in Evo doesn't have a line break between the
KeyID and "Live" whereas your kmail one does. That's because you didn't
put a after the KeyID. To fix it, the first line just has to read:
echo "-- KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C"

And Evo doesn't. There are reasons for it.

Have you told it to look for new messages in all folders?

Doesn't make any sense why should I put HTML tags in a linux script?
echo "KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C"
if [ -p /tmp/xmms-info ] ; then echo "Live - $( grep Title: /tmp/xmms-info |
awk -F': ' '{print $2}' )"
fi
Kmail automatically adds the -- which I'm having to use for this message since
Evolution has suddenly decided to lockup when trying to either reply to a
message or write a new message. Another question is why doesn't Evolution show
a new message count as they come in? I'm using an IMAP account on my local box
along with fetchmail and procmail. In Kmail when a new post comes into one of
the folders the message count shown changes but not in Evolution. Though I'm
more concerned with the lockup right now. Another issue with using Kmail in
Gnome is that for some reason I can't sign messages, I get a "signing failed,
bad passphrase" though I can sign them using Evo, but Kmail works fine in KDE.

You need to include the sig separator as part of your signature, Evo doesn't add it for you. The sig script you use needs to output in HTML so that the editor can format it correctly, so one of the shell scripts I use starts: echo "-- " echo "Pete Biggs" P. ___ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
[Evolution] Evolution newbie questions
I've just finished an install of Gnome on Mandriva 2009. First time I've used Gnome and Evolution so pardon some probably simple questions. 1. I use a script for my signature. In all other MTA's I've used there is a -- before the signature, I don't see that here in Evolution. Where/how is it added? BTW, I added the -- manually on the below sig. So far I like Evolution, it appears to be a lot faster than Kmail, just takes some getting used to I guess.
