Email Resources - Pine: Creating a Signature
Taking Steps for the Future
  1. Log in to your account and type E for Email.
  2. At the Pine Main Menu, type S for Setup.
  3. Type S for Signature.
  4. Type in the desired text for your signature file. The text might include your name, email address, department address, phone number, or any other useful information.
  5. Use the commands at the bottom of the screen to check your spelling, justify, or cut and paste text.
  6. Type ^X then Y to exit and save your changes.
  7. This signature will be saved as a file called .signature and will be automatically included at the end of every email message you compose.

If the signature file is not appearing in your messages, you might need to adjust Pine's config file, using the steps below:

  1. From the Main Menu, press S for Setup and C for Config. 
  2. In the Setup Configuration menu, locate the option called "signature-file". 
  3. If  you used Pine's sig editor to create your signature file, this option's value should be "signature-file = <No Value Set: using ".signature">". If it isn't, move your cursor to "signature-file". Press D to delete the value and Y to confirm. 
  4. If you did not use the built-in signature editor to create your signature and the name of your signature file is not .signature, then at the "signature-file" line, press C to change the value and enter the name of your signature file. 
  5. In either case, when you have finished making your changes in the Setup Configuration menu,  press E to exit and Y to confirm the changes.
