The MH 6.7 repl(1) man page gives a couple of examples with filter files. One like this might not be a bad idea, though... The Nutshell MH book actually does cover that, back in section 8.9.6. This is probably worth a reference from 6.7.5, eh? Something related: as section 8.9.6 mentions, it's not easy to add a signature to the ends of messages you forward with forw(1) because the signature always goes in the wrong place. Using a sendproc (in your MH profile) might be the cleanest way to add signatures to *all* your messages -- with comp, repl and forw. I've never done it because I'm not really "into" signatures, also because I hate to mess with something as important as the programs that send my messages unless I really have to. Does anyone use a sendproc to add signatures to your messages? How well does it work for you and what problems have you run into? Or what other way do you add signatures with forw?
