I think I could wander around in those results quite a while before I
found anything both intelligible and useful.

No.

On the contrary, I always attach one. But I have two styles: psig
(the one I posted) for personal communications, which calls me Joe and
includes my email address & a rotating saying, and bsig for business,
which calls me Joseph C. and includes my full address & phone number,
but no saying.

Also, as I might have mentioned, the time it takes to key "M-x psig
RET" is very much smaller than the time it takes to compose a
posting. It is scarcely worth saving.
> Well, yes, if you have one single never changing signature
On the contrary, the psig one changes every time. Do the built-in
facilities provide for that feature? And if so, how would I have
found that out?
