If you can set the User's signature via the JS API, adding the option in SlyEdit to manage/change the signature would be a cool feature.

Synchronet would still be the thing adding the signature, SlyEdit would
just present the option to the user... again, assuming it's something
Sync's API supports.

I see. That could be something SlyEdit could do. However, since Synchronet is normally the one adding a signature, I'm wondering if that might be the better place for a fix for this. I'm wondering if Digital Man would be open to the idea of having Synchronet adding a tear line before the signature..

Just want to point out, user signature tear line is '-- ' on an
otherwise blank line, note the space. Some NNTP clients (Thunderbird)
will actually clip the signature and below when replying, assuming a
user sets up their signature break properly.

Is there a way to put in Slyedit to allow us to turn signature on gr>>> and off,
especially if sending a Areafix.

correct me if I'm wrong but I was told if you put a --------- under your
areafix statements areafix wont see anything under it.

What I would like to know is in SBBS how do you input color for your
signature?

no, it is a tear line you need to add... that's three dashes and properly followed by a space but many just take the three dashes with nothing else on the line...

it also isn't that they don't see anything under the tear line but that they ignore it for processing purposes... some areafix processors allow for the tear line and then some message text below that whixh is extracted and posted as a message to the operator of the system being areafixes...

I'm glad I didn't miss this being to learn at any age is a good thing.

Thanks
