Thanks to every one replied to my question about adding a signature
to every message like pine , but using DXMAIL , and including the message
when replying .
The following is a summary of all the replies :

I use pine 3.91 and it always looks for a .signature file in the home
dir when it goes into compose mode. I highly recommend pine for all our
users' mail management needs. The .signature file will append with some
other mail packages as well.

Hi Deya,
Create a file called .siganture in your home directory. It solves
your problem.
Have a nice day.

Deya,
If you are using DXMAIL or MH the answer is YES, you need to look at the compse
and forward/reply forms in
the /usr/lib/mh (?) directory [its in the man pages ]. with a little editting
you can get exactly what
you want, just like this message.
If you need any more help, I'll send me files over

High,
you only have to write a file in your home-dir named .sign;
.sign should content your signature. That's all.

5)Hi Deya,
I use pine v3.91 mail program. I think it's a very good program and you
can make a signature file. Pine adds this file to every message. When you
forward a message pine makes a header with your signature.

Hi,
I'm sorry for my forgetting to attach the ftp site's address:
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine
You can download it from Digital's archive (
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com)

It depends on what mail program you use, or I suppose you could write a
ruleset for sendmail (UGH!). I use Pine for Unix, it is a very flexible
mailer with everything could ever want. I will allow you to auto-append
sig files, save all sent mail to a specific folder, read usenet news, has
batch selecton techniques... etc...
Good Luck! -Andy

I am not sure if you can add a signature to your messages using the digital
mail client, but you can if you use Pine. With pine, just create a
.signature file and put your signature there. It will be used
automatically.
Hope this helps...

[ Yes Tim , you can add it but instead of segnature file you use components file
in the Mail directory .]

10 ) Thanks Garrett for this solution as it was the simplest one .
It depends on your mailer. If you are using mh or dxmail, edit
Mail/components to look something like this...

11) Ken , more detailed , some changes will allow the use of .signature ..
Hi - if you add the following
set sendmail='/usr/people/ken/bin/.signmymail'
after replacing the above path (needless to say) in your
$HOME/.mailrc file
and place the following shell script
#!/bin/sh
# send mail with the signature appended
if [ -f $HOME/.signature ]; then
cat - $HOME/.signature | /usr/lib/sendmail $*
else
/usr/lib/sendmail $*
fi
in
$HOME/bin/.signmail
where
$HOME/.signature
is the file containing your signature, this will sign you email
automatically.

12) Cont. of previous message -------
Hi - and to keep a copy of forwarded messages in the <userid> mailbox, add
\<userid>, <forward address>
to your $HOME/.forward file (and make sure the .forward file is owned by
the user and not by root.)

any one who replied to my original message .
