Someone suggested that I should put a sig with the version and system in these messages, and, I guess, the desktop type. I can create the version/system from a terminal with head -2 /etc/os-release but this doesn't get it into an email, nor does it mention that I'm using KDE. I think this is a useful suggestion, but I don't know how to implement it. (Using Thunderbird Mail.) doug@linux1:~> head -2 /etc/os-release NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" # VERSION="20201203" --dm

No html though ;) plain text. This would require me to update the sig every time I update the system. However, the idea is interesting. Perhaps I could call a routine that runs the head file. I'll have to think about that. It's a long time since I wrote any kind of code! --doug

I have it in a script that runs during login.

No. KMail allows you to add the output of a program/script as signature You can hardly be more up to date :-) Cheers Axel

No. We only told you to put "Tumbleweed", because it is different than, say, "Leap 15.1" - see my signature.
and, I guess, the desktop type. I can create the version/system from a terminal with

It is trivial. Create a script, and run it from crontab every day. echo "Doug," > ~/.signature echo -en "Using Plasma - " >> ~/.signature echo head -2 /etc/os-release >> ~/.signature And then in Thunderbird you specify in account preferences that you will use a signature file instead. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
