Actually something i have waited for, since i dumped KMail. However adding lines like: {script:"/sw/bin/fortune"} or {script:"/Users/username/sig.sh"} does not work as expected. sig.sh by the way looks like this: #!/bin/bash echo "test" These two lines even crash Mail when changing the Signature. Can you help me? Best regards, Tom Hello,
