General
A-1:Documant for c-sig is really heard to understand, why?
At first, I have a question. Can you understand English?
If yes, sorry about that.
I loundly cry "I did my best!", but I know my English is reaaaaly
far from easy to understand.
I suggest 3 thing.
No 1 Learn Japanese
Since I am Japanese, Japanese documents are much better.
No 2 Make friend who can understand Japanese.
Same reason with above.
No 3 Send me a question in English.
I promize I will try to explain with my best effort, but you may
need patience like teachers in elementary school.
Oh, I have one more idea.
No 4 Introduce me a free and good translator.
This will make everyone happy.
A-2:Why FAQL for c-sig have only a few questions?
Because c-sig is perfect. There are only a few questions.
No, I am liar. Of course, c-sig is not perfect.
I also want to know why I got only a few questions.
Ha? you say there must be only a few users? I don't like you.
A-3:I thought abbreviation of "signature" is "sign", why are you using
"sig" instead of "sign".
I don't matter it. In fact, it is none of my bussiness because "sig"
of "c-sig" is not abbreviation of "signature". It is "Chaanto
Signature wo Irenaito Guaiga waruizeyo". ("Too bad if you don't insert
a signature properly" in Japanese.)
A-4:c-sig is great. I want to make a donation to you. Please let me
know your bank account.
You are in bad confusion. The great thing is not c-sig, it must be
GNU emacs or GNU itself.
If you want to make a donation, do it to FSF! If it is hard for you
to send money to US, buy any GNU products. (books, CDs or T shirts)
If you can not find any of them, don't worry. You can donate source
code like me.
A-5:I heard c-sig is made by "[email protected]"
Oh, no! I have released previous version of c-sig using the
address, but it is not valid now.
Even it is valid, it is not my address. Please use
[email protected] instead.
If you have question about jisx0201.el or han-kata.el, please use
above address as well. (I guess no one uses these lisps though)
Setting.
B-1:I am using "insert-signature-automatically", but signatures
appears in fixed order every time.
put (random t) to ~/.emacs.
B-2:I want to change strings in my signatures, but I can't.
Maybe you forgot to do (setq sig-replace-string t).
Put it in ~/.emacs
B-3:I want to use signatures in .signature or .signature-alt.
Sorry, c-sig can not use it.
All signatures for c-sig need to be in database.
You can import your old signatures by C-x C-i while making new
signatures for c-sig using "add-signature".
B-4:A signature is inserted just before current line.
This is by design.
If you want to insert a signature at the end of mail, set t to
sig-insert-end.
Advanced c-sig
C-1:I want to use a random signature for specific person.
At first, add "sig-get-random-signature" at the end of
"sig-search-funcions" list.
Add following statement to ~/.emacs.
(setq sig-search-functions
(list 'sig-search-name-alist 'sig-search-regexp
'sig-get-random-signature))
If you want, set list of signature names to
"sig-random-sig-list". c-sig select a signature from the list, when
it need to select a signature randomly.
Next, modify "sig-name-alist" and "sig-regexp-alist" For example, If
you want to use a random signature for [email protected], add
this line to both "sig-name-alist" and "sig-regexp-alist".
("[email protected]" . nil)
By this, retrieval return for both learning database and reguler
expression dabase will be nil, and nil means "not found".
So c-sig calls final function in sig-search-functions.
This modify affects to person who can not find in your database, you
will see a random signature for them. (Sorry about that.)
C-2:I don't want to add a signature for specific people.
I know you don't want to add a signature for all mails, you should
have some mail addresses which you don't send your funny (sory
artistic) signature.
When you are binding c-sig function to key to insert a
signature. Just not type the key not to insert a signature. But if
you are using hook to insert a signature... Pray God to be selected
a proper signature.
Or do following steps.
At first make an empty signature. When you write nothing on
"add-signature", you can get an empty signature. (You need to
name it, even it is empty.)
When an empty signature is selected, c-sig doesn't do
anything. (don't add sig-separator as well.)
Only exception is "sig-purge-void-lines", if you set it, blank lines
at the end of mails are removed.
It is what you want, right?
