Make your signature with any text editor (pico is pines default) and save 
it as filename .signature (please note, the '.' dot is important) and it 
will automatically attach.  Alternatively, and IMHO a better way is make 
a file and save it as something else (for example filename sig) and then 
attach it only when and where you want to, you can also make sig1, sig2, 
sig3, sigsex, siggolf, sigwhatever files, and attach them with the ^R 
(control+R) read in file command.  OK here comes sig3 (which is a 3-line 
signature)  BYE.

Hhmmmm ... OK Alan is correct except that it's E for (E)xport, but I admit
that's kinda picky, but you get the idea ... (I hope) ... anyway where
were we ... Oh yes, pardon me I'm workin' under Windowzzzz Terminal and
something must be sleeping now ... OK Bill Gates just called and said go
ahead ... Anyway follow Alan's advice re downloading except that possibly
maybe your server will not allow it in which case download to your hard
drive, then copy it to a floppy, then delete it from your hard drive ... 
some servers do not permit downloads to A or B drives (assuming your using
a PC or clone) they insist that you download to C or D, takes less time
(microseconds but what the heck, it's their machine) anyway where were we
... oh yes, here comes filename sig (you've already seen sig3). 
Afterthought; if yer not usin a PC but an apple this may not apply 'cause
their kinda fruity ;-)

Yep, I stand corrected.  (E)xport, _not_ (E)xtract.  (Sorry, forgot what 
language I was in.)

Readers,

I'm relatively new to the World of e-mail but having read a few letters I 
have noticed people have ended there messages with a signiture. I was 
wondering how do you go about creating one. Also is it possible to save 
messages that people have sent to you on floppy disc. If any one could 
help I would be most grateful. Thanks.

...and following DearOldDad's post...

To save messages, use the "Extract" command.  Pine will then ask you for 
a filename, then save the message to that filename.  You can then 
download and save on disk.
