I have searched around and can not find an answer to this issue and hope someone can help.
I recently reinstalled Pegasus Mail as a replacement for Thunderbird. I want to set up variable signatures. I have done this once before, a while back, when I last had Pegasus Mail installed, so did not think much about it until I noticed on a Copy to Self that my signature included my name with "~!" (without the quotes) underneath it. Rather than insert the signature in place of the ~!, it just used it as part of the signature.
My first thought was that the new installation could not use the old rquotes.pms file.
So, I did the following:
1) Deleted the old rquotes.pms file
2) Opened the new rquotes.r file
3) Added my signatures to the new rquotes.r file using the format used in the samples
4) Opened a command prompt and used rescom to complile the rquotes.r file. I received the following response:
Created resource file rquotes.rsc:
Total of 70 entries, largest = 177 bytes.
Resource table size: 490 bytes.
542336 bytes memory free.
5) Used explorer to copy the rquotes.rsc into my mail folder (C:\PMAIL\MAIL\<me>
6) Renamed the rquotes.rsc as rquotes.pms
I opened Pegasus and sent myself a test message and it still displays ~! as my "witty quote" instead of my witty quote. I checked all iterations of the signature I wished to use (Internet-formated, internet-plain, local-formatted and local-plain) and all are identical in setup. My name on the first line and ~! on the second line. I read that deselecting the "Add this variant..." option in the Signature section of the Options might help, but it made no difference. I receive no error message, so have no idea what is going on.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the variable signatures to work?
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Have a great day!
