[hacknews] signature facility added to ms

david@utzoo.UUCP (David Trueman) (11/14/84)

Ms(1) now checks in the home directory for a file called `.lettersig'.
If one exists, it arranges that the contents of that file are printed
in a letter when the `.SG' instruction is used.  The file need not contain
any `ms' instructions at all, appropriate display instructions are added
automatically.  Use of `.SG' leaves things in no-fill mode, suitable for
`cc', `encl.' and the like at the left margin.  My `.lettersig' file
contains:

Yours Sincerely,
.SP 1i
David W. Trueman

Some proper documentation will follow.
