This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

Note: Pine is not available on any central UITS systems. UITS does not support the use of Pine at Indiana University.

Although you cannot configure Pine to automatically include your signature at the bottom of forwarded messages, you can add it manually. If you are using Pico (the default editor), move the cursor to the bottom of the message, press Ctrl-r, and then enter the name of your signature file (e.g., .signature). Pine places the contents of the file into your message.

Note: If you created your signature with Pine's signature editor, you may not have an actual signature file on your account. It may instead be saved into Pine's configuration. In this case, you need to manually create your signature file.
