I've happily switched over to Thunderbird from KMail. But, I have hit some sort of snag--- I like the ironic humor value of the "signature" at the end of an email message. Rather than using the same one each day, I have a file of "one liners" that a script randomly chooses a new one each day. It works, BUT not always. Here is the entirety of the script: shuf -n 1 /home/mark/sigs.txt > /home/mark/.signature After running the script, thunderbird is supposed to pick up on the new .signature file...but often it doesn't. Here's what I can tell: In the "Account Settings" instead of seeing /home/mark/.signature, it displays /run/user/1000/doc/b0cddf0b/.signature and no signature appears. I can fix it by in Thunderbird's Account Settings, "un-selecting" the "Attach the signature from a file instead (text, HTML, or image):" option and then re-selecting it. After re-selecting, the signature shows up perfectly. How can I avoid this extra step? Thank you for any help, Mark -- Learn from the mistakes of others.
