thanks tony but i think doing it using component files will get a signature by default but i have many diferent signatures and i want to insert one of that signatures using a keyboard command so for a message i will insert a signature but for another message i will insert a different signature is it possible i am using sedit for my messages thanks ulises hi is there a command to insert the signature using a combination of keys and not to have sent the mail to insert it then i simply put it them into my nmh component files components replcomps forwcomps and so on that way you get them when you are editing your message also by using comps files for specific folders you can alter your sig per folder and other tricks see the docs for n mh for all the details there might must also be a way to get sedit to do it but i ve been using gvim as my exmh message editor for a long time now i load it with a command that loads some email specific settings eg to syntax colour highlight the headers and quoted parts of an email it would be possible to map some vim keys that would add a sig or even give a selection of sigs to choose from and there are all sorts of ways to have randomly chosen sigs somewhere at rtfm mit edu ok here we go URL warning it s old may NUMBER regards ulises hope this helps cheers tony _______________________________________________ exmh users mailing list exmh users URL URL _______________________________________________ exmh users mailing list exmh users URL URL
