My user community would very much like to have the Lines: line generated in their article postings. I've located the shell script that adds that to the header, but I now have a question. /usr/lib/newsbin/inject/pnews has a comment about the lines script. It basically says that you should uncomment Line A if you insist on having it, and then comment out Line B. This seems to be a relatively easy concept until you see that Line B is really several lines. I assume that I would need to comment out all those lines marked line B. Now for the harder question. It seems that the lines shell script sed's the .signature file if it exists. My knowledge of sed is truly limited, and in reading pnews AFTER the line B lines, it also does some sed'ing with the .signature file. I obviously don't want to wind up with two .signatures at the bottom of each post - do I comment out the sed'ing in pnews?
