Been following the other "email" thread, and tried a script sig in Evolution...2.2.1 on SuSE 9.3 #!/bin/bash echo -e "----\n" echo -e "Tom in NM\n" echo -e "SuSE 9.3/Evolution \n" uptime echo -e "\n ====" Even with explicit new-lines as above, evolution ignores them, with the result as below. In a terminal, the above of course now double-spaces... Any thoughts? Tom ---- Tom in NM SuSE 9.3/Evolution 5:28pm up 17:09, 5 users, load average: 0.29, 0.28, 0.24 ====

Try wrapping the output in <pre> </pre> tags. Scott -- Pro bono (pro bono publico) POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.11.4-21.14-default x86_64 SuSE Linux 9.3 (x86-64)
WOW, Scott! Thanks for the clue... I should have thought of something along that line...I did this instead, and it works fine...added <br> line breaks to the echoes. #!/bin/bash echo "---- <br>" echo "Tom in NM <br>" echo "SuSE 9.3/Evolution <br>" uptime echo "<br>====" and the result is below.

It isn't a matter of being PC. The double dash is standard notation for a footer/signature/whatever that does not form part of the message itself, and thus need/should not be quoted in a reply.
