### This is from a private message I sent to someone who asked.  Fortunatly,
### I saved it, so I don't have to retype it :-)

### If you would like a copy of the tin man page, just for reference,
### I can mail it to you.  rtu...@worf.infonet.net

If it's in just one newsgroup, check out the file $HOME/.tin/attributes
That is a file that holds the attributes for newsgroups.  For example, if 
you want to use a random .sig in rec.arts.ascii:

newsgroup=rec.arts.ascii
sigfile=~/.bigsig

... will do that.  But, if you would like a universal change, there's a 
line in your $HOME/.tin/tinrc file ...

# Signature path (random sigs)/file to be used when posting/replying to messages
default_sigfile=~/.sigdir

... they're overall pretty cool files, and are neat things to dig into.  
Remember that the tinrc file changes ALL of the newsgroups, while the 
attributes file changes only one.  Enjoy!

No.  these are functions that will only work in tin.  In trn your only 
choices are a 4 line sig or to import your sig in for every message.
