How to Create a Signature File for your Outgoing Pine Mail Messages

You can create a file called a signature file that will be inserted automatically at the bottom of your outgoing e-mail messages. Typically, a signature file contains information such as your name, e-mail address, and organizational affiliation.

The Pine Mail program inserts the signature file (at the bottom of the message screen) into an outgoing message as soon as you begin to compose a message.

Note
You can choose to remove the signature text on a message-by-message basis by deleting each line of text using the ^K (Cut Text) option.
