Installs fine, works as advertised, uninstalls fine.  I am going to keep this
extension around, not only does it server the purpose of adding signatures, but
also servers the purpose of making it easier to paste my UA string into BMO
comments. Great work, and great extension.

new version 0.2 now available from the same address, this fixes a bug with the
latest build of firefox, and adds thunderbird integration (same features now
availbale from the compose window)

So this is a Firefox extension for determining the signature when launching
Thunderbird?

DESC:

Signature is an extension for firefox/thunderbird. 
this extension allows you to add signatures to emails/posts.
Essentially you define your `signature` in the options dialog, eg
  " regards, 
       Michael Johnston

  mailto:[e-mail]
  phone: [phone] xxxx"

then when sending email / posting on a board, to attach your signature you right
click and insert the chosen one from the menu.

I find this extension to be very useful and would also like to see it added to
mozilla update.

Comment 8

[Martin Muc]

FYI, I just made some comments referring to this bug in another bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73567

Hopefully this extension (which is great by the way - THANK YOU) will
precipitate some work on other similar enhancements.

current release
0.3 
    * Unicode support
    * locale support [DE,FR,IT,PL,EN all shipped in the xpi]
    * Rob Wooley wrote the random function for inserting random signatures.
    * keyboard shortcuts (thunderbird only)
          o ctrl-shift-d inserts a signature called "default"
          o ctrl-shift-r a random signature

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSION,
INSTALLING WILL MOST LIKELY DESTROY ALLL SAVED SIGNATURES.
MAKE A BACKUP

fixed: extension added to mozilla update through the new developer panel.

Comment 11

this could be a useful extension, *if* it could handle external textfiles to get
its *random* signatures from.

it would be great if an external file could be used to get random sigs from:
the format is very simple:

[bof]
one tagline per line\nuse backslash+n for enter
this is a tagline
this is a tagline\nwith a linebreak
this is a tagline\nwith a linebreak
this is a tagline\nwith two\nlinebreaks

Why not simply use one text file for each signature? Easier to read, easier to
administrate. Put all textfiles in one folder and the select that folder as the
source for the random signatures. This method is in use in several other
programs and IMO works very well.
