From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801 BuildID: 2001080104 I've just read perl camel's book, and I've tried an example in that book, to get a different signature using fortune an a fifo. But mozilla seems to refuse to read from the fifo, named ~/signature. (in the dialog "Choose a file", if I click on file "signature", the name doesn't appear in "File Name" text box. If I put explicitely the name by hand without using the dialog box, no signature appears) If I replace that fifo by a "normal" file, everything's ok. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run the script attached with that report (warning : if a file "~/signature" exist, it will be removed !!!) 2.put /home/<your-login-name>/signature as signature file 3.try to compose a new mail Actual Results: No signature appears. Expected Results: Mozilla should be able to read from a fifo to print the signature.
Your description says you're using the filename "~/signature" but the signature file is "~/.signature". The period is important. If you simply mistyped in the description, or if you used the wrong filename in your program but it still doesn't work when corrected, this is a bug, otherwise it is INVALID.
Summary: Signature file cannot be a fifo → Signature file cannot be a fifo
I simply mistyped in the description : in fact, I tried both ~/.signature and ~/signature, because I was wondering if mozilla refused the file because it was hidden. But it is not the case ...
Any reason why this is not a dup of bug 62993?
I mark it as a dup of 62993 ... sorry for the disturbance :)) ! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 62993 ***
