I tried this out and I can get the signature in netscape mail or when I am
using
mutt, but with Pine this script  exits with a "Broken Pipe" error.  I guess
that is
a signal coming from Pine closing the pipe due to some reason.

Next I implemented the same thing in C but I found the same problem with Pine.
I tried using select to wait for it to be writable but the "SIGPIPE" signal
kept 
getting generated. 

Any ideas on why this is happening with Pine but not the others ?
