Well, the first step is to set up a template for your reply mail that puts a correct sig in with the appropriate cut mark. Here is a Quick Template I have on it... ,----- [People on this list are much happier if you use a "Cut Mark"] | This is a "special sequence that starts on a new line and consists of | two dashes (minus signs) and a space followed by another new line. | | <NewLine><dash><dash><space><NewLine> | | This "cut mark" is recognized by many eMail programs and is used as a | cut off point for signatures. That way, when someone replies to one of | your messages, your signature (anything below the cut mark) is | removed. Likewise, when you reply to a message from someone that | includes cut mark, The Bat! will remove anything below the cut mark | from the text you quote. `----- [see FAQ @ <www.silverstones.com/thebat/samples.html#newmess>] Note, the cut mark just above my sig at the bottom of this msg...

It is the moderators job to keep order, you just happened to catch two of the 'pet peeves' (top posting and the cut mark). -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Flying with The Bat! eMail v1.61 Windows 2000 5.0.2195 (Service Pack 2) Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
