Description Alex Efros 2004-04-22 12:01:28 UTC
I propose to add new patch for mutt which allow to configure email templates
for different recipients:

send-hook somebody@domain.com 'set signin="Hello!\n\n" signoff="\nBye."'

This patch add "signin" and "signoff" features (this isn't same as "signature"!!!).
I've compiled this patch from two patches: patch-1.5.4.lpr.signoff and
patch-1.5.4.lpr.signin found at http://software.lpr.ch/Mutt/.

P.S. Probably this patch should be improved to patch documentation too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Thanks for the suggestion.  I don't think I will include these for the following reasons:

1. Combined patch not available from author's site.  This means that we have to maintain the patch instead of just letting the author do it.

2. This doesn't provide any serious functionality.  You can do the same thing by creating a bunch of signature files, or writing a script which generates signatures with different greetings and closings.  For example, your signature might be:

   Hello!

   Bye,
   Alex

   --
   Alex's cool signature

Thanks for the suggestion though.
