Hmm, I think you may've just given me another idea for a new feature.
I'll sleep on it, and maybe I'll add it to my address book.  I need to
think about how to do it, though.  Should we have signatures by group?
Should we have signatures by nickname?  Should we have signatures by
email addy?  How about signature components on a group/nickname/email
basis?  Maybe we want to change signatures by language (like my mailing
list config does)?  Do we want some sort of override mechanism, perhaps
using standard hooks?

There are lots of questions, and I need to think.  As always, a listful
of brains is better than one, so comments/suggestions/questions/etc. are
more than welcome.  Finally, it's important to note that much of my
development is driven by requests, so feel free to just push your own
agenda at me if you want.  I may not implement what you want how you
want, but I'll listen, and offer assistance if you decide to make the
modifications yourself :-)

Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor?
It's simple, Skyler.  You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
