That misses the fact that, as I said above, I use an *interactive* program for generating my signature block. It's not a matter of generating output unilaterally from the program. I interact with the program on the console (saying yes or no to proposed random signatures), and it then modifies an existing message file in-place. I can't figure out how to get Emacs to work with this program. Anyway, this is now wildly off-topic for an Org discussion forum. -- \ “Holy bouncing boiler-plated fits, Batman!” —Robin | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney
