... ... 1.2.8 GNUS

 (Does anyone know Mike Northam's current email address?)

In addition to the basic signature instructions in 1.1 above, users of GNUS
should verify that the value of the variable gnus-signature-file points to the
right place.  If you're in emacs, you can do so by evaluating the following
expression:
gnus-signature-file
                   ^ put your cursor here and type C-x C-e

You should see "~/.signature" in the echo area.  If not, edit your
$HOME/.emacs file and add the following:

(setq gnus-signature-file "~/.signature"))

Then load your $HOME/.emacs file or merely restart emacs and the variable
should be set correctly.
