May I suggest that you preface your sig with '-- ' (that's dash-dash-space) on a line by itself. Many reasonably sensible mail clients will identify this signature delimiter and automatically trim your sig from replies. Search for "Hyphens in signatures" in the help panel for more info. -- Barry Wainwright Microsoft MVP (see http://mvp.support.microsoft.com for details) Seen the All-New Entourage Help Pages? - Check them out: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
