Are there any subdirectories in C:\pmail\mail ? Like C:\pmail\mail\admin oder C:\pmail\mail\<YOUR USERNAME> ? If yes, copy rquotes.pms to the subdirectory.

That did it!  Thank you, Martin.  Thank you very much!!

My instructions are now modified as follows:

## -64-bit Windows OS:
## Open DOSBox
## Z:\> mount c c:\PMAIL
## Z:\>c:
## c:\>cd Programs\RESOURCE
## c:\Programs\RESOURCE> rescom rquotes.r
## c:\Programs\RESOURCE> copy rquotes.rsc c:\MAIL\<MY USERNAME>\rquotes.pms
## c:\Programs\RESOURCE>exit
##

Had to use dosbox to get rescom to work, but that's no problem now (so far as I know).  My variable sigs are still not showing up in the outgoing messages. Yes, the converted file resides in the proper location and the signature has ~! where the variation needs to be -- email recipients see ~! instead of a selection from the sig list.

Any suggestions?

It works on my Win7/64-bit system.

I have had a problem with variable formated signatures (but I don't remember, what kind of problem it has been), so I deleted the signature files for the formated versions and use the plain signature-set for plain text and HTML-messages.

Thanks for the tip, but still no soap.  I disabled the *.pns files (*.pns became *.oldpns) and sent some tests to another email address but still no variable sig; also verified again the presence of "~!" in the remaining sig files ('cause things happen sometimes...).

Oh well, gonna keep on trying!

To add some background info...

Here are the instructions I've been following:

## -64-bit Windows OS:
## Open DOSBox
## Z:\> mount c c:\PMAIL
## Z:\>c:
## c:\>cd Programs\RESOURCE
## c:\Programs\RESOURCE> rescom rquotes.r
## c:\Programs\RESOURCE> copy rquotes.rsc c:\MAIL\rquotes.pms
## c:\Programs\RESOURCE>exit
##


The desired quotes are all formatted like so:

text x
{
"I've noticed that the press tends to be quite accurate, except when they're writing on a subject I know something about.\n"
" - Keith F. Lynch"
};


The dosbox command line indicates successful completion of the conversion as well as the renaming & relocation (further verified visually).  Whatever is amiss is bound to be so obvious it should hit me in the face, but I can't see it... still no variable sig on outgoing messages.

When you look in Help, About.., Info where does it show your home and new mail box locations?

Isn't yout sig files and messages folders in c>\pmail\mail\<username> and not in \mail</username>

"Isn't yout sig files and messages folders in c>\pmail\mail\ and not in \mail"

Yes it is.  Dosbox doesn't like it when directed to mount c:, it prefers to mount c:\Some-directory as c:.  In this case I've mounted c:\pmail as c so everything is relative to that.

Are there any subdirectories in C:\pmail\mail ? Like C:\pmail\mail\admin oder C:\pmail\mail\<YOUR USERNAME> ? If yes, copy rquotes.pms to the subdirectory.
