[news.sysadmin] Double signatures?

root@djs.UUCP (Admin) (02/03/88)

When a mail reply to an article is send via the rn 'r' command, it seems
that a 'yes' response to the question about including the contents of
.signature results in the contents of this file being included twice.
I'm running patchlevel 14 of the news software. Does anybody have a fix
for this problem? (A work-around is to respond 'no' to the question about
including .signature, and it WILL be included once.)

Look at the Rnmail shell script. A comment in there says something like
"if you are using a mailer that automatically appends the .signature file,
remove the signature code below." News software, 2.11 patchlevel 14, does
this. Hack on Rnmail.
