Sorry if this is the wrong audience for this, but because of
people like cordelia and saeed, I have the following useful code
in my .zwgc.desc ($orig_nof has the value of $number_of_fields):
if $orig_nof == "2" then
set signature = verbatim($1)
set body = $2
set toolong = ".........." # 10
set toolong = $toolong + $toolong # 20
set toolong = $toolong + $toolong # 40
set toolong = $toolong + "..*" # >= 40
if $signature =~ $toolong then
set signature = "<ridiculously long signature>"
endif
else
set signature = "???"
set body = $message
endif
The relevant code is between the first if and the first else.
The result of this is that all the @ characters are made literal
in the signature and that the signature is then replaced with
"<ridiculously long signature>" if it is longer than 40
characters.
I thought some people may find this interesting or useful...
Jay
