Is there a way to have messages included your .signature file automatically? I was thinking of adding a 'sign' command to whatnow which would append your ~/.signature file to the draft message. Does this sound like a reasonable approach. Also, what is the easiest way to include text from a message in a reply? I often user the MH-e emacs interface, and this make it quite nice, but I was wondering how other people approach this, since I see many different styles. Thanks for any help you might have *----------------------------------------------------------------------* | Eric Schneider, System Manager eric@wsu.edu or cs2.wsu.edu | | Washington State University "If it can't be done in COBOL, I | | Computer Science Department just tell them it can't be done. | | Pullman, WA 99164-1210 It saves a lot of time." -- unknown | *----------------------------------------------------------------------*

(1) Just include the signature you use in your components file.
(2) From mh-e, I believe C-c C-y will yank the message being replied
to into the current buffer, with ">> " prepended to each line.gregg@ihlpb.ATT.COM (Wonderly) (02/06/89)

I use the following for my components file To: cc: Subject: -------- ----- Gregg Wonderly DOMAIN: gregg@ihlpb.att.com AT&T Bell Laboratories UUCP: att!ihlpb!gregg I use the following for my reply filter : body:component="> ",overflowoffset=1,compwidth=0,overflowtext="",width=80 : :----- :Gregg Wonderly DOMAIN: gregg@ihlpb.att.com :AT&T Bell Laboratories UUCP: att!ihlpb!gregg Which does the right thing for me. -- Gregg Wonderly DOMAIN: gregg@ihlpb.att.com AT&T Bell Laboratories UUCP: att!ihlpb!gregg

As for including text from another message in my replies, i just use emacs' include file command and edit from there, though there are ways to have replcomps include the message being replied to. Hope this helps. v. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ARPA: khera@cs.duke.edu Department of Computer Science CSNET: khera@duke Duke University UUCP: decvax!duke!khera Durham, NC 27706
