- SIGNATURE FILE
-
- It is common practice in network mail to add what is called a "sig" or
- "signature file" to the end of your outgoing messages. Typical content
- is your name, title and organization, phone number, postal address,
- electronic mail address, and so on, to identify yourself and make it
- easier for people to reach you.
-
- Create the file with emacs (or any editor). The file must have the name
- .signature (notice the dot), and be in your home directory. The usual
- etiquette is to keep it to 4 lines or less.
-
- In MM, change the variable APPEND-SIGNATURE to either YES or ASK. YES
- means append the sig to all outgoing mail, ASK means for MM to ask for
- each message whether to append it. You will not see the sig when you
- use the DISPLAY command--it is appended during mailing.
-
- Type "help set append-signature" for more information on the variable.
