O.k so I'm stupid.

How do you guys make your signatures at the bottom of each
message? I mean you can't tell me that you remake them everytime you
send one. I didn't see and attachment notice, so how do you guys do it?
I'm working with pine as my processor if that helps anyone help me.

Seesh, this should be a FAQ...
Sigs are files your mail reader can add to your message. In the case of
pine, if that's the Unix version you're using, you should have a file
~/.pinerc. In that file, there's a line asking where you signature file is
kept.

Read your local documentation for further details. And, as a little bit of
net.ettiquete, try and keep the sig small, and not too overpowering.

Add the following parameters to your elmrc file (in the .elm directory)
if you are using elm.

remotesignature=<your sigfile>
localsignature=<your sigfile>
