Thankyou for reading my mail...

O.K. I wish to establish a .sig

I used pico to edit a file and I saved it   .sig   in my home directory.
It must be there..because I can control r (retrieve the file) manually.

So therefor I have created a file in my home directory called .sig

Now ..when I send a mail to myself...it does not pick it up..

What am I doing wrong or what have I not done..????

a bit of info..

Now in the Pine config....it says in the signiture bit...

<no set value> using ".sig"   (or something similar)

is that the right command,,or what should I have here..

Please,,, please   someone be kind enough to email me..

[email-masked]

And please remember I am a newbie...and I mean a newbie..
So real basic language please..

I appreciate anyone who trys to asisst me...

Thankyou for taking interest,

Sean Neylon.....

Try renaming .sig to .signature.  That should do what you want.

On Tue, 7 Mar 1995 13:49:11 +1000, in comp.mail.pine, 
 [email-masked] (parading as Sean Neylon) managed to \
 electronically scribble:

% I used pico to edit a file and I saved it   .sig   in my home directory.
% It must be there..because I can control r (retrieve the file) manually.

ls -a | more

This command will show all files with a . (hidden files). The more will
let you read the file names before they run off the screen.

% So therefor I have created a file in my home directory called .sig

% Now in the Pine config....it says in the signiture bit...
% <no set value> using ".sig"   (or something similar)

I think you need to be sure exactly what is says. Either change it in
the .pinerc file or rename the .sig file.

I really think you must write: <No value set: using ".sig">
If you have .sig in a different directory, then try it adding a path.
 
Excuse me if you don't understand me.
