Hi,

What would be the easiest method to automatically append a line of text to the body of all the e-mail messages sent through Kontact? I know that the signature block can do it for "fixed" content. What I want is basically add a unique identifier in-between the body of the message and the signature. I though about using a filter with a "pipe through" filter action but I don't know how to implement it. Is there any guide available? Thanks!

The signature feature actually *can* do what you want, unless you need the ID to appear *as part of* the body (i.e. in front of the "-- " that starts the signature).

You can select "output of command" or some such in the signature configuration. I use the following shell script to choose a random quote and append my normal static sig:

[code:1]
#!/bin/bash

echo __________________________________________________________________
echo
fortune RealPeople.txt
echo
cat ~/.signature

[/code:1]

Instead of a random quote you could just as well add your own code to produce the unique ID.

cm.

(I don't know what version first got it, but KDE 3.2 has it.)

Great! What if I want to pass to the batch file, as a parameter, the subject line or the date and time the message is sent?

Sorry, no idea.
