PMMTag (c) Copyright 1998 David Azarewicz
Thank you for using PMMTag
PMMTag works by copying a signature from a specified source file
into a specific pre-defined signature file within PMMail. This
way, while composing a message, you can choose to use the "Random"
signature, or any other signature you may have simply by using
the Signature pull down menu within PMMail.

Installation instructions
Put PMMTAG.EXE in your favorite directory. If you put it in a
directory that is in your path, you will not need to specify the
full path to it.
Create a file with the tag line definitions in it. You can put
this file anywhere you like. The file should have the format
shown below. The keywords in this file are case sensitive. The
Header, Footer, and Sig can be multi-line messages. They are
copied line by line from the source file into PMMail's sig file.
No reformatting is done. The Header, if any, is copied first,
then the Sig, then the Footer, if any. PMMTag selects the next
sequential Sig each time it is executed. When the last Sig has
been used, PMMTag starts over at the begining. A sample tagline
file is included.

Go to Account->Account Settings->Signatures and create a new
signature called "Random". (You can use any name you want,
but "Random" is the default name used by PMMTag.) You do not
have to put anything in the signature, this will be filled in
by PMMTag.
Note: Because PMMail runs PMMTag *after* it attaches the
signature, PMMtag actually prepares the signature for the
*next* message you will send, not the current message. So
if you do not put anything in the initial "Random" signature
you create, your first message will not have a signature
attached, but all subsequent ones will.
Go to Account->Account Settings->REXX
Click the Message Send Exit checkbox.
in the entry field type:
d:\path\pmmtag.exe -id:\path\TagLines
substitute the correct drive and path for where ever you put
the files.
If you chose a signature name other than "Random", you will need
to add the -sYourSigName switch to the PMMTag command. For example:
d:\path\pmmtag.exe -id:\path\TagLines -sYourSigName
PMMTag is now installed and will update your "Random" signature each
time you send a message. You can change or add to your source file
at any time. PMMTag stores its index into the source file as an
extended attribute of the source file. If at any time PMMTag can't
find the extended attribute, it will simply start at the beginning
again and re-create the extended attribute.

PMMTag is freeware.
However, I would appreciate an e-mail if you like the program and
are using it.
PMMTag was only tested on OS/2 Warp 4, PMMail 1.95, on a HPFS.
PMMTag is supplied as is without any warranties, expressed or implied.
The author assumes no liability for damages which may result from the
use of PMMTag. Use PMMTag at your own risk.
If you have problems you can specify the debug switch "-d" and
PMMTag will stop and wait before exiting. If you check the box
that says Execute Script In Foreground, you will be able to see
any error messages.
