Then, when he uses the MAILBOOK package to split the NOTEBOOK into individual notes, the package splits the file, by looking for a line which consists of a line with the following properties: - the line contains an "=" in column one, - the line consists solely of 72 repetitions of the "=" character. If you put a line meeting those conditions into your "signature" file, the MAILBOOK package may get confused.
