Many people have written asking how to add a signature file to their email messages.  In a desperate bid to avoid a life full of repetitious response, I've created this page.  Let's hope it works! 

Help!  If you use an email program that isn't listed here, please send me a note with the directions, and I'll add it.  Many people will appreciate it.  Thanks!
