Massive potential for embarrassment here
Authored by: PeteVerdon on May 15, '04 09:27:25AM

It's a neat hack, but be careful if you're going to use a sig block that includes the names of files you've accessed recently. How about this as a sig:

Fred Foobar
Recent Items: kinky_goat_sex.jpg, fooCorp_takeover_plan.doc

Beware!

What? You think that would embarrass me?

...Of course I've thought about that, and many others have also reminded me of that possibility, but luckily I don't use my computer for such things. (But, even if I did, I could probably add a filter to exclude any recent item strings including, oh, I don't know, things like "xxx" and "goatsex" and "teenhotslutbag".)

That said, though, I very much agree with you. I'm just hoping that silly hack doesn't get me into too much trouble.

:-) Even in email to your mother?

In which case it's no problem. But I thought it might be a good idea to remind anyone else who might use it.

Of course. Good point. "Let the user beware..."
