But that is more > reminiscent of word processing rather than editing. I'd rather go the line of what makes Emacs a special editor. Something like a Gnu had floating above some typical key combinations like "C-c M-x C-M-\" or one could go for the lisp, e.g. by a Gnu head enclosed in two big parentheses. Thinking again about it, I think I'd really like the second idea better. -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
