What do you mean by "the r method" ? The roles ?  M S R R ?

"create a row" ? do you mean "create a role" or "create a signature" ?

You can create as many roles as you want. Each role can define its own 
signature. AFAIK a signature can be defined inline or in a signature file 
(personally I use omly the latter).

A role can be invoked automatically based on some pattern (e.g. the 
addresses you are sending to), or invoked manually when composing or 
replying.

For instance if you compose a new message, instead of C use #. That will 
enter the role menu (mine has 10 possible roles). If you are replying to 
message (pressing R) you press R again (read what is in the bootom lines 
of the screen) and tha will enter the role menu (after you've chosen a 
rle, it will prompt for confirmation),

(for instance this message is using [automatically] the replyall-alpine 
role. This role does not use any non-defult signature, but forces the 
reply to go ONLY to the entire list and not to the sender)

You can do almost everything with Alpine !
