No. See below. >I had to laugh when I've >seen it in the past and now I'm wondering, how this was set up? Well it depends on what email client you are using. I confess to being pretty one dimensional when it comes to email. I started out using Eudora back when Old Yeller was just a pup and I have never used anything else. I don't know enough about Apple Mail App or the other email clients that are available, to keep my feet warm in the desert in August. So I can't tell you how to change yours unless you are using Eudora. But basically, that line is called an Attribution line or Attribution string. Your attributing the subsequent quoted material to the following person(s). You just need to find out how (reading the owner's manual would probably tell you) to change it in your email client. I view attribution strings as inverse .sigs. You can make them your own and personalize them. I simply added "The National Enquirer reports" at the beginning of my default attribution string. BTW kudos for modifying the Subject line of your message and not hijacking the previous thread. I know a lot of Internet veterans who don't do that. One final comment: Whenever asking for help or advice, always include the pertinent information that will allow others to offer their assistance -- application(s) if relevant & version; OS version; hardware and model if relevant.
