.signature file from inews and v6mail

   Both inews and v6mail use an optional file called .signature. Inews
puts it on the end of articles, v6mail uses the first line of it to set
up the From: or Sender: line in the header. So if I set up my news
signature the way I want, my mail is sent out with lines reading
From: Alan M Stanier * Copyright 1989 Alan M Stanier
which isn't what I wanted.

   I've modified my .signature file to get acceptable results with both
programs, but I don't like it. Can anyone think of a way I can have two
signature files, and pick uo the right one depending on the particular
program I am running?
