to a block of sigs (quotations) that's keeping it from updating the target file.
but i can't find any characters that might be pissing it off.
any chance you could look at it?

Hi James

Yes, please send me that block. I will have look at it. There may be a bug reading this.

Regards,
Ingo

anyway, in december, i screwed up and forgot to tell Thunderbird to attach the signature file.
NOW, i'm sure i have EVERYTHING right.

permission for both files are "allow everything" for everyone, encoding is right for both, etc.
EVERYTHING.

i'm currently splitting the fortune cookie file into smaller pieces. maybe there's a character somewhere that's frustrating it.

and yes, i've reinstalled it several times.

that's it.
i have to give this 1 star now.
as it REFUSES to update the signature, i've tried EVERYTHING and any support is NONEXISTENT.

Hi James

Thank you for your messages. In December you managed to make it work as your review suggests. What is different now?

Did you check the read/write permissions for the fortune cookie file and the target file?

all of a sudden, for the past few days it won't update my sig.

encoding is still utf-8 for fortune cookie file and ANSI for target file, but it WILL NOT change it!

what gives?

never changes the sig file.just keeps using the same one over and over.what gives?

17.0.2.

it started working after i changed the encoding of the fortune cookie file to UTF8.
i also replaced all the " characters. i had been copying/pasting a lot so maybe it reached one that was the HTML " character, didn't recognize it, and stopped reading the file.

not sure which one fixed it.

Please make sure that you use a recent version of Thunderbird. It may be some backward compatibility issue. What version of Thunderbird are currently using?

There isn't a limit. Because the entries in a file are selected randomly it may just have been "bad luck" that the last entries haven't been selected so far. Also make sure that the correct path to the file is stored in the extension.
