What is a signature file and how do I create one?
If a user has a signature file, it is appended to the end of each and every e-mail that user sends. It is also appended to the end of each newsgroup/bulletin board posting that user does. It can be any format. Often people include their phone numbers, business addresses, e-mail address, a favorite quote or lyrics from a favorite song. It is a way of personalizing impersonal e-mail. The freenet system currently truncates all but the first 5 lines of a signature when including it in newsgroup/bulletin board postings. You create a signature file by entering option #7 on the mail menu. The system will bring up the editor on a file named .signature and you can enter anything you want at that time.
