hi, I'm trying to make a macro so that on a single keypress I can change a from, change my signature (both to known things, not prompting or anything) compose a new message with these variables, then set them back when I'm done, however, binding something to do ":set from=\"User <someone@somewhere>\"\n:set signature=\"~/.altsig\"\nm:unset from\n:unset signature\n" passes everything after the 'm' (that starts a new compose) as the to: line, which just tries to send email to ":unset from\n:unset signature\n", hardly what I want :) any hints/alterative appreciated -- -Barry Hughes "We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."
