Talk: Sigs >4 lines

What news reader do you guys who have long sigs use?  My version of trn
restricts to the 4-line convention.  Of course, I want to stick to this
for most posts, but posts to ascii art groups I might like to have a
longer sig.  (And I'd rather not insert it manually...)

Xrn allows me to use .signature with more than 4 lines. Of course you need
to have X-windows access.
I guess many people insert their long sigs manually.

PS: This post is trough trn so the sig below is my trn-(mocking)-
.signature. I use a different one for xrn.

Warning: .signature files should be no longer than 4 lines.
(Only 4 lines of your .signature were posted.)                    ___MMM___

The fascist 4 line limit is easily changed if you have the source.

I use something called FTPnuz.  I got it from the fileserver at MSU.  
As you can see, I can have a .sig as long as I want to.  You can get it
at ftp.msu.edu  pub/msdos/newsreaders/ftpnuz10

[NO .sig deleted!]
... apparently you've set FTPnuz up to 0 lines.   =-)))))))))))))))
