[net.news] Adding signatures to followup articles

	Is there some method to get readnews to do this? It works if you
use postnews. 
			Thanx.

Maybe this will help.  This addition to my .login file allows me to
append my .signature file to mail replies with a single character
command: "V".  And, it works outside of the news s/w; you can
use it for all of your mail.  Note: this works with sys 3.
I think minor mods are required in the syntax for other versions.
Check your shell documentation.  As usual, "^M" means Control-M, etc.

	setenv EXINIT 'map V :$r /usr/jeff/.signatureMO^D----^['

This also undoes the "vi" bug which causes it to think a file has not
been modified following a ":w" or ":r" command (the insert of "-----"
does it.)  Isn't Unix great?  You can mold it to fit any whims!
