Re: Question about Drivel - header/footer, template, or sig?

[Todd Kulesza <todd dropline net>]

Christine,

No, there isn't a default template feature currently in Drivel.  I  
like the idea, though!  Definitely something to plan for a future  
release.  If you have a patch to implement it, send it my way.  The  
only comment I'd make is that gconf isn't the best place for a large  
template file; I would recommend using the drivel folder in ~/.gnome2.

Cheers,
Todd
