Subject: Attribution and Multiple .sigs

I have two questions about pine.....

1. Is there any way to change the attribution for quoted text?  IOW,
instead of saying (at the top) "On 4 Mar 1996, Joe Foo wrote:", can I
change that to be something else?

2. Is there any way for pine to handle multiple .sig files?

Thanks,
Curt

As to the multiple .sigs, it's easy. Suspend (or get out of) pine 
to your unix shell. Command pico sig.xyz (this'll turn out more 
convenient that xyz.sig, which scatters things all over the alphabet), 
and write a .sig, using the cues at the bottom of the screen. When you've 
stored it, command pico sig.xyz again (to save rekeying) and modify it; 
this time, when it offers sig.xyz as the file to store to, overwrite and 
create sig.qkj; and so on.
	Back in pine, use whatever you want as your default .sig in the 
setup/configure memo -- such as, at the moment:

R.R. "Beartooth" Neuswanger             Death is not evil.
[email-masked]                            Suffering is evil.
                   I speak for me. Only.

	Then, when you want a different one, delete the default, and at 
the bottom of your message, hit control-R, and fill in sig.qkj or 
whatever. Some examples:

R.R. Neuswanger, Ph.D., NRA life        Death is not evil.
[email-masked]                            Suffering is evil.
