- ObObviousAlso: don't even bother to have a file named ".signature" if
- you're going to go this route. Just have your [Pi]news (or maybe even
- your editor) attach whatever you want to the bottom of the post. If you
- do it through your editor, it even works through mail.
-
- ObHack: I've actually got this running, but not for *NIX (yet). A
- script called by the editor as it saves a post.
-
- ObSheesh: named pipes, migawd! A classic example of approaching this
- problem from the wrong end.
