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.

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.

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.
echo KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C
if [ -p /tmp/xmms-info ] ; then echo Live - $( grep Title: /tmp/xmms-info |
awk -F': ' '{print $2}' )
fi
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 br after the KeyID. To fix it, the first line just has to read:
echo -- brKeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705Cbr
Kmail automatically adds the --
And Evo doesn't. There are reasons for it.
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

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

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.
