o Put it in the top level of your home folder.
Your news software should pick it up. Note: some systems are set
up to allow only four lines in a posted sig.
If you are using tin:
o Make a folder in the top level of your home folder called ".Sig".
o Fill it with sigs.
The files in that folder will be used randomly by tin when
selecting a sig for your post. You can call the folder something
other than ".Sig", but you must change the 'signature path' line
in your tinrc in your .tin folder.
To have a file included above your random sig:
o Make a file in the top level of your home folder called ".sigfixed".
For email:
o Name the file you want to be used as ".signature"
o Put it in the top level of your home folder.
If you have done this for the above use in news posts, you need
to, in additon, do one of the following:
If you're using Elm for your email, and elm doesn't pick up your sig:
o You need to put the following in ypur elmrc:
localsignature = ~/.signature
remotesignature = ~/.signature
If you don't have an elmrc yet:
o Open Elm
o Press the 'o' key to get to the options screen.
o Press the '>' to save your configuration.
o Press 'i' to go back to the index.
o Quit.
This will create the elmrc file in the .elm folder.
If you're using Pine (with Pico) for your email:
o Place the following in your .pinerc file:
signature-file=~/.signature
If you're using vm (in emacs) for your email:
o Place the following in your .emacs file:
(setq mail-signature t)
Note about sig usage: Try to use short sigs for posts to
newsgroups. If you have any long sigs, try to only use them for
email and posts to the ASCII art groups.
