Summary:
The path to the fortune program is "/usr/bin/fortune", email thinks it
is "/usr/games/fortune".
Detail:
I put "%f" in "/etc/email/email.sig" to get a quote from fortune in my
signature, email sends the mail but without the signature line.
Example:
$ echo "Is this thing on?" | email -f me@here -s "Testing 1,2,3" you@there
/usr/games/fortune: not found
Sending DATA...
E-Mail Sent
$ which fortune
/usr/bin/fortune
Request:
Is it possible to run fortune as "/usr/bin/fortune -s"? The "-s"
generates a short quote which I think is better in an email signature.
PS I haven't looked at the source.
