Subject: Re: .sig before Included text?!?!?!

Check your pine.conf file (wherever it was installed) and see if your 
default for including read messages *after* (isn't ELM-style mail that 
does this?) your message is set to "NO".

I use pine 3.89. I am sure that this might be a simple question, but
none the less I don't know the answer to it.

When I reply to a message in pine and select 'y' to 'Include original
message in Reply?' my .sig is included before the included text.
It is quite a pain moving my .sig down to the bottom of the page. 
How can I change the configuration of pine to have my .sig appended to
the end of the included text?

Easy enough...just add "signature-at-bottom" to the "feature-list="
section of your .pinerc file.

I'm not sure if what he said is it--I think what you need to do is look 
in your .pinerc file (in your home directory) and look at the feature 
list.  There should be one labeled 'old-style-reply', which you should 
set to 'yes'.

Hope it works!

i use pine 3.87 and in .pinerc there is a section for features.
added <signature at bottom> to the feature line to take care of
issue you noted.
good luck

There is a line in the pine configuration file (I forget what it is called)
that does just that.  I believe it is "enable_signature_at_bottom" or 
something like that.

Andy,

A useful alternative to using a .sig file at all is to define one (or
more) sig-type files and use <ctl>R to read the file into your document
wherever you wish.

I have found the use of the straight .sig file to be a problem.  When I am
replying directly to a local user I use all the information (including
work phone number).  However when responding to a less well identified
user or posting to a news group, I use a more abbreviated form (such as
you see here).  

This gives the option as well of having alternate signatures for more
'serious' E-mail, saving the more humorous for the appropriate communications.

I noticed that, too.  Pico correctly puts the signature at the bottom of 
messages sent from news, but on mail it does it "wrong".

Edit your .pinerc file...
Look for the following line near the last 1/3 that says:

feature-list=

CHANGE to

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