   Both inews and v6mail use an optional file called .signature. Inews
puts it on the end of articles, v6mail uses the first line of it to set
up the From: or Sender: line in the header. So if I set up my news
signature the way I want, my mail is sent out with lines reading
From: Alan M Stanier * Copyright 1989 Alan M Stanier
which isn't what I wanted.

   I've modified my .signature file to get acceptable results with both
programs, but I don't like it. Can anyone think of a way I can have two
signature files, and pick uo the right one depending on the particular
program I am running?
