Two quick (I hope) questions... First... How do you tell MH to append your .signture file? I have one set up, as seen below, but MH does not seem to understand that I want to have it included when I send something out...Is there something really simple that I am not doing or ignorant of? Second... How do I tell show that I only want three things at the header of a message, the From:, the Date:, and the Subject: ??? Oh, I think I just figured that last one out, but answer anyway, as I am probably wrong... Thanks for the help.
