I am running ELM2.2 PL10, when I have set the variable 'localsignature'
in my .elm/elmrc file to a sig file. I get this signature to change
when vi is invoked for the body of the message. ( I can change it, this
is great ).
The problem is that when I exit vi, ELM adds the 'localsignature' file again
to the message before it is sent, giving me two sigs!!!
Is there something else I should do aswell as setting the 'localsignature'
variable in the elmrc?
Many Thanks for any help/comments

It sounds more like your MTA is adding the signature file also.
Elm only adds it once. I would check the configuration of your
MTA. (Mail Transport Agent).

Voice: (215) 947-9900 >syd@DSI.COM or {bpa,vu-vlsi}!dsinc!syd FAX: (215) 938-0235 Ok, I tried the following :- note ONLY localsignature is defined, remotesignature is blank. sent mail locally, vi showed my signature in the mail, I added a line of text, sent it, the mail received had two sigs on the bottom :- msg line -- .sig -- .sig I removed the localsignature definition, therefore both localsignature and remotesignature are blank. sent mail locally, vi showed no signature in the mail, I added a line of text, sent it, the mail received had NO signature on the bottom. This means to me that it is generated twice from the localsignature varaible in elm. Anybody got any ideas? ( running ELM2.2 PL10. ) Kevin Henigan.

( running ELM2.2 PL10. ) > I'm running PL10 and I don't notice the problem. the only thing that crossed my mind was the change at about PL8 which caused elm to add the signature after the mail had been entered. I know that PL8 reached here in a mushed up state and I had to get a correction to before I could get it to work. Elm was patched again to make the signature appear in the edit buffer one patch later. Perhaps you got a corrupted PL8 and you know have a version of elm which includes the signature in the edit buffer and also adds it after the message has been entered. I would try getting a new version of elm. Or perhaps reversing back to PL7 and then getting a new patch from dsinc.com and trying again. -- ______ JANET :jonathan@uk.ac.keele.cs Jonathan Knight, / BITNET:jonathan%cs.kl.ac.uk@ukacrl Department of Computer Science / _ __ other :jonathan@cs.keele.ac.uk University of Keele, Keele, (_/ (_) / / UUCP :...!ukc!kl-cs!jonathan Staffordshire.
