This could result in the receiver > getting weird line breaks. You could try longlines.el. It will create files with long lines. Those can be inserted into the email without a lot of trouble, I'd think. However, I think that longlines.el might not be handling the empty lines very well. So you'd get a long line for the first paragraph, then an empty line, then a long line for the second paragraph, and so on. But maybe you can live with this. -- file-error; Data: (Opening input file no such file or directory ~/.signature)
