KSig"> ]> Richard A. Johnson nixternal@ubuntu.com 2006 Richard A. Johnson &FDLNotice; 2007-01-06 1.01.00 &ksig; is an application specially designed to manage multiple email signatures graphically. KSig tdeaddons signature kmail plugin &ksig; is a graphical tool for keeping track of many different email signatures. The signatures themselves can be edited through &ksig;'s graphical user interface. A command-line interface is then available for generating random or daily signatures from a list. The command-line interface makes a suitable plugin for generating signatures in external mail clients such as &kmail;. Random signatures will pull signatures from the &ksig; signature file randomly. You can make every email more exiciting and uniqe than the previous by creating multiple signatures with varying quotes, styles, and information. Daily signatures will pull signatures from the &ksig; signature file only using one signature for an entire day. Every day will provide a different signature, and just like the random signatures provide uniqueness to your emails. Please report any problems or feature requests to the &kde; mailing lists.
