Uh, you know what "shell-command-to-string" does? This means that the shell will run the command $HOME/.signature and the output of running this command (which needs to be an executable, then) will then be the signature that gets inserted into your message. I somehow doubt that $HOME/.signature _is_ an executable command for you. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
