When I posted with Gnews my .signature file was included only once. Why is it being included twice when I use gnus? -- Tim Grunwald Federal Reserve Board, Washington, DC, 20551 uucp: uunet!fed!m1tag00 internet: m1tag00@fed.frb.gov Tim Grunwald Federal Reserve Board, Washington, DC, 20551 uucp: uunet!fed!m1tag00 internet: m1tag00@fed.frb.gov

I have been having a similar problem with gnus. I think gnus and
inews (which I understand gnus uses to post to the net) are both
appending my .signature file. Anyone want to tackle this one?

This is true. On a system using a local news spool, with an ordinary
2.11.x inews, inews itself will add your .signature to all articles.
Unfortunately, GNUS also wants to add .signature for you, on the
assumption (a bogus one, for the local spool case) that it is speaking
NNTP to a remote system's inews which will have no access to one's
~/.signature. When I first tried out GNUS 3.10 many months ago, I
questioned this behavior but the author disagreed that it was wrong.
I have resorted to a fairly disgusting hack on 3.1[012], each time a
new one has come out, so that GNUS does not, by default, do this. Our
environment uses an apparent local news spool everywhere, even though
we use NNTP, by use of NFS-mounted news spool and an NNTP inews that
does .signature inclusion, just like the ordinary inews.

Our I guess I'm a little confused when you say you had to resort to a hack to get around this. It sounds to me like what (setq gnus-signature-file nil) is for. I use this even though I'm on NNTP because I prefer to add the signature myself (another way of saying that there is no way to suppress it on a per-posting basis). So, what am I not understanding about your problem? -- Bill Carpenter att!ho5cad!wjc or attmail!bill
