I have a wish-list item, albeit a very minor one. I've put together a mail signature file (see below) which, although I'll probably cut it back to fewer lines, seems appropriate for news I post "to the net". However, when I post an item to one of a number of our "local" newsgroups, I always delete it as it seems silly. I guess what I'm wishing for is a way to tell NEWS "include my signature file on nonlocal postings only." -- .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Bob Tinkelman | Internet: bob@ccavax.camb.com | | Cambridge Computer Associates, Inc. | UUCP: ...!{uunet,adelie}!ccavax!bob | | 56 Beaver Street, 3rd floor | BITnet: bob%ccavax@uunet.uu.net | | New York, NY 10004 | AT&T: 212-425-5830 | `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

I guess what I'm wishing for is a way to tell NEWS "include > my signature file on nonlocal postings only." How about adding a /SIGNATURE qualifer to the appropiate commands? Bob could use /NOSIG when posting to local groups. It might also be nice to be able to say POST/SIGNATURE=file to override the logical name. This should be fairly easy to implement. +-------------------+-------------------------------------+------------------+ | Bob Sloane \Internet: SLOANE@KUHUB.CC.UKANS.EDU/Anything I said is | | Computer Center \ BITNET: SLOANE@UKANVAX.BITNET / my opinion, not my | | University of Kansas\ AT&T: (913) 864-0444 / employer's. | +-----------------------+-----------------------------+----------------------+

Sounds fair enough I suppose - I'll see what I can do...
