Subject: Reply and Signature Placement

From: [email-masked] (Thomas Fletcher)

Hello all,

  Allright,  I will admit it I love Pine.  However despite this new
devotion to the mail/editor package I have one small pet peeve.
I would like that when I reply to a message and choose to include
the old message in the reply it ends up below my signature file.
I would like to change this so that the signature is the last
thing to come up.  Right now I manually delete it and then import
it at the end.  This is not a solution ... just a way to avoid 
the problem.

  Anyone able to help me out on this one?  

  Thanks in Advance

I would suggest not using a .sig file.  Save your signature from your text
editor with some appropriate name (I use two signatures, one for local and
known destinations that includes information on my place of work and a
second with just my name and general location - as I use here - for more
general and widespread postings).  You could also have a separate
signature for the more serious postings that would dispense with the less
serious parts of a signature.  I call my files SIG1 and SIG2 (lacking
imagination).  Do a <ctl>R to read the appropriate file where ever you
want it.

Let me know if this helps.

   Hello all,

Ummm...perhaps I missed something here, but why don't you just edit the
"feature-list" field of your .pinerc file (configuration file) so that pine
places the signature at the bottom of your message? i.e. :
  
feature-list=signature-at-bottom

People often also use the feature called "old-growth" that has a lot
of previous version compatibility stuff...My feature-list looks like

feature-list=old-growth,signature-at-bottom
