No, we won't don't do that. You will be assimilated instead.

OK. I surrender. The Bat is a wonderful package, RITLabs a remarkable

Please include a signature delimiter in your messages. This consists
of a , i.e., a '-- ' by itself on a line.
This allows your readers, when replying, to quote your text without
the signature and list footers since everything below and including
the sig delimiter is excluded when quoting.

You can easily automate this process by including the sig delimiter in
your templates.

Even if you barely have a signature to speak of, that doesn't make any
difference to whether or not you need a cut mark. You are being
courteous to other readers since at least three lines of text is added
to your signature by the list server.

Generally that happens when the sender uses a different charset than

That could be related to the same problem.
You mention 'often' and 'many times', is it always with messages from
the same sender/group of senders? Do these messages have anything in
common: language, originating program, HTML, whatever?
