From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011018 BuildID: 20011018 Anyone can get a random signature for each new mail he writes. A relevant technique : launch a little script with a 'while' calling the fortune command and redirect the output to a fifo file (mkfifo). But if you proceed that way, your client freeze due to bad access to the concerned fifo file, while it works very well with a normal file Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: In the mail client window : 1. Choose --> Edit/Mails and Newsgroup Account Settings... 2. Choose an account : foo@computer.com 3. Choose "Attach this signature" Then two possibilities, giving two different behaviours : 4. Choose the "Choose Button" and find the fifo file 5. The window will never close if you stay clicking on the "Ok" button Or : 4. Enter the name manually (Mozilla won't check th access) 5. Close the configuration with "Ok" 6. Try to compose a new mail and Mozilla freeze Actual Results: Depending the case, Mozilla refused the given file name, or freeze completely and take all the CPU cycles. Expected Results: Accept the given file name, and access it each time I want to compose a new mail in order to have a random signature.
