Lately it seems like it doesn't. Anybody >know why? Several reasons are possible. The most common reason is that, since inews runs as user "news", it is not able to read a user's .signature file unless it is readable by the world and the user's home directory is not searchable by the world. It's also possible that user's .signatures have more than four lines but then you'd get an error message. -- - Joe Buck {uunet,ucbvax,pyramid,}!epimass.epi.com!jbuck jbuck@epimass.epi.com Old Arpa mailers: jbuck%epimass.epi.com@uunet.uu.net If you leave your fate in the hands of the gods, don't be surprised if they have a few grins at your expense. - Tom Robbins
