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 ...
