Re: %ISSIGNATURE explanation
This message: 24/09/2000 20:42 GMT. Hello A, A reminder of what A ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) typed on: 24 September 2000 at 10:32:06 GMT -0500 ACM If I wish create a new message or a reply to someone and I wish to use ACM my TBUDL signature, I simply type 'tbudlCTRLSpaceBar' and the ACM signature in the message disappears and is automagically replaced with ACM the TBUDL signature. I've spent the last 45 minutes reading and re-reading all these postings about %ISSIGNATURE. I've been totally confused by the whole thing. With all due respect to Mark and Allie, you explanations didn't really clarify just exactly what it did. I got the impression that %ISSIGNATURE had to be defined in some way or have a particular template assigned to it. After stumbling about in the dark for a while I discovered exactly what it does. If you want to use a specific signature that is defined as a QT, then including %ISSIGNATURE in the template just removes the existing signature in (now forgive me if I'm wrong) exactly the same was as a regexp would remove a PGP signature. Without %ISSIGNATURE you end up with two signatures... Or am I completely on the wrong track? -- _ Best regards, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tony.
