Re: [Evolution] Problems with randomly generated signature

[Bram Mertens <bram-mertens linux be>]

Hi

You have to keep in mind that for some reason Evo expects the signature
to be html-formatted.  You'll probably have to escape the html in order
to get the desired output.

I use:
#!/bin/bash
[...]
printf "<pre>-- \n"
[your sig goes here]
printf "</pre>\n"

Don't forget the space after the --!  But you probably knew that part
already...
