------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create a .signature file with 4 or less lines (inews truncates this) In addition to the general signature instructions above NN users should edit their $HOME/.nn/init file so that it contains the following: set query-signature off set append-signature-mail on set append-signature-post off Note that the reason that you need to ``set append-signature-post off'' is that the news transport (such as inews) automatically appends a signature if it exists. If you ``set append-signature-post on'' then both nn and inews append your sig so you get two! OR... Do as I do. Set a macro in the editor you use (vi in my case) (or a keyboard marco under Xwindows), and just press the appropriate key to insert the signature at the end. As My signature is randomly generated, this allows me to preview the signature I am using on news, before sending it around the world. EG: I don't want to offense PC users around the world though I don't mind locally. OR... Create a `fake' inews program to generate a random signature and pass the result to the real inews program with the arguments given. You then just notify nn in .nn/init to use your fake-inews instead of the real one. I actually do that for mail using a `fake' sendmail program. See ~anthony/scripts/outmail for that as an example. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
