<h3 class="section">9.4 Inserting Your Signature</h3>
<p><a name="index-signature-1342"></a><a name="index-mh_002dinsert_002dsignature-1343"></a><a name="index-C_002dc-C_002ds-1344"></a>
You can insert your signature at the current cursor location with the
command <kbd>C-c C-s</kbd> (<code>mh-insert-signature</code>).
<p><a name="index-files_002c-_0040file_007b_002esignature_007d-1345"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040file_007b_002esignature_007d-1346"></a><a name="index-vCard-1347"></a><a name="index-mh_002dsignature_002dfile_002dname-1348"></a>
By default, the text of your signature is taken from the file
<samp><span class="file">~/.signature</span></samp>. You can read from other sources by changing the
option <code>mh-signature-file-name</code>. This file may contain a
<dfn>vCard</dfn> in which case an attachment is added with the vCard.
<p><a name="index-mh_002dsignature_002dseparator_002dp-1349"></a><a name="index-mh_002dsignature_002dfile_002dname-1350"></a><a name="index-mh_002dsignature_002dseparator-1351"></a><a name="index-mh_002dsignature_002dseparator_002dregexp-1352"></a>
The option <code>mh-signature-file-name</code> may also be a symbol, in
which case that function is called. You may not want a signature
separator to be added for you; instead you may want to insert one
yourself. Options that you may find useful to do this include
<code>mh-signature-separator</code> (when inserting a signature separator)
and <code>mh-signature-separator-regexp</code> (for finding said separator).
The function <code>mh-signature-separator-p</code>, which reports <code>t</code>
if the buffer contains a separator, may be useful as well.
<p><a name="index-signature-separator-1353"></a><a name="index-mh_002dsignature_002dseparator_002dflag-1354"></a>
A signature separator (<code>"-- "</code>) will be added if the signature
block does not contain one and <code>mh-signature-separator-flag</code> is
on. It is not recommended that you change this option since various
mail user agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the
signature differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or
yanking a letter into a draft.
<p><a name="index-mh_002dinsert_002dsignature_002dhook-1355"></a><a name="index-mh_002dsignature_002dfile_002dname-1356"></a>
The hook <code>mh-insert-signature-hook</code> is run after the signature is
inserted. Hook functions may access the actual name of the file or the
function used to insert the signature with
<code>mh-signature-file-name</code>.
<p>The signature can also be inserted using Identities.
