- And I'm not even going to mention the tab damage... Damn! There I did it.

- If you must append then you could always try:
-
- ex - ~/Mail/sent<<EOF
- g/^-- / .,/^\$/-1d
- x
- EOF
-
- This of course makes certain assumptions about what your sig looks like
- and what shell you use (I'm guessing a csh derivative given your use of ~).
