Subject: I'm a new user. How do I create a signature?

I read the help on how to create a signature file (saving it to
'.signature') but how do I do it? I've been searching for info on how to
but without any luck.  I hope someone can help me with this seemingly
simple problem.

Hi One or more of the Smiths <[email-masked]>!

>but without any luck.  I hope someone can help me with this seemingly

Just edit the .signature file with your favourite editor (I use Emacs 
for instance, you may use Pico, VI or something else) writing the signature
into it as plain ASCII. All done!

One way is to use a text editor (not Pine, which is a mail program) to
create a file called ".signature" in your home directory.  If you don't
know what editors are available to you, or how to use them, you will need
to ask your local support desk.

However if you are using the latest version of Pine (3.95 -- it tells you
up at the top left corner of your screen when you're within Pine) there is
a built-in signature editor...

At the Main Menu type "S" (Setup) followed by another "S" (Signature).

Cheers,

You simply create a file in your home directory called ".signature" and
edit it to taste. You might be creating the sig file in a different
directory, in which case you have to indicate the path in Pine's
setup/config settings.
