[comp.mail.mh] Appending the signature file

tr@wind.bellcore.com (tom reingold) (03/09/88)

Is there an option to send that will append the .signature file to
messages I send?  Or do I use "filter" files?  How do I use "filter"
files?  I have read the manual page for send and don't get the
idea.

Thank you for the millionth time!

You have the right idea.  There are three things that compose
messages - comp, repl, and forw.  You can have a components file
for each one.  So basically there are two options:

	1.  If you want all compositions to have the same look then 
	    change the components file to look something like:
---
To:
cc:
Subject:
--------

	Not to much of  a problem.

	2.  The other possibility is to use a form file (look at
            the -form option).  With this you can have several 
            different types of styles  - but you get no information
            so that you could not use this idea for repl or forw,
	    but works well with comp.  

There is some really useful documentation in mh/doc directory -
mainly ADMIN.me and MH.me.

I saw someone posting the question about how to get a .signature file
appended to a letter.  I seem to have missed the response.  Could
someone email me how to append a file to a letter getting sent?  Or
repost their answer.

Thanks
Robert
