D> Thanks for explaining
X-Mailer is a field in your e-mail message header { you can view this by
pressing F9 } that states what e-mail client you are using. Under normal
conditions, this wouldn't be much of an issue however some server
administrators have black-listed e-mail messages sent by users of
The_Bat!. Turning off the X-Mailer identification makes it possible to
pass messages past these servers.
I, personally, haven't had any messages bounced because of my use of TB!
[so you'll notice my x-mailer present in my header] but a growing number
of users have experienced this wrong discrimination -- enough users to
make this 'feature' necessary.
Also, your signature should begin with -- (dash dash space). The_Bat!
recognizes this as a signature delimiter and will automatically trim the
following signature upon replying.

Peace, be well
