No, my solution was if you're a unix/linux/cobalt user, and you're sending
an email from a client IN the server (through a shell) like PINE, ELM,
etc, that file would be attached (for instance, the best regards below
this letter, is a .signature file contents)

so, no, my answer is not good for what you want. you'll have to search
sendmail's site for it or something :\

Been there.

Sendmail's site says that you could do this well *if* everybody were just sending text emails. But once you move to MIME, and messages have a more structured form, then basically if you just append a bunch of text to the message without fitting it into the structure you can screw things up.

It's in the FAQ somewhere... perhaps someone with more Clue than I can figure such a thing out. But it strikes me that the only way to do it is to make sure that all messages are sent via an interface you control, like Hotmail does. Then you always know what the structure to the mail is and can play with it.
