Create a file in your \VA\TXT directory called TAGLINE.x where x is a number
from 0 to 89. In this file, put the tagline you want to appear at the bottom of
the message. In VConfig, select the database and in the field asking for the
tagline, enter the number of the tagline to use for that database. You can have
90 taglines that way.

Taglines 90-99 are reserved for random taglines. I never can remember how this
works since I haven't ever used it. I have a doc somewhere on it or one of the
other sysops can probably tell you how it works. Actually there is probably a
message post in here on it.

For email, you can create EMAIL.TAG in the TXT directory, and all email will
have the tagline.

Anyway as you probably know, taglines are best at 3 lines or under and avoid
heart colors or ANSI on FIDOnet or other networks in which they will be reading
it in pure ASCII. Heart codes on VirtualNET are fine.
