Hi Cyrille, On Tue, 25 May 2004, at 22:58:09 [GMT +0200] (which was 2:58 PM where I live) you wrote: C> In theory the mistake might be at 4 different places: C> 1) the end-user,
Possible. C> 2) TB, Possible, but unlikely. C> 3) the Internet service provider Possible. C> 4) the moderator. Very unlikely. Switching between one of your messages and another message that does have the correct sig delimiter, it's very apparent using the Rich Text Viewer as to which message has a proper sig delimiter. Everything below a proper sig delimiter is light grey in color. C> -2) To be honest, I do not know how to check whether I have the C> space after the two dashes. The praised "free caret" or "virtual C> space" method of MicroEd makes it impossible to know whether you C> have a space at the end of a line or not. Turn on the rich text viewer in: Options, Preferences, Viewer/Editor, and set the "View plaintext messages" to Rich Text/HTML viewer. Send yourself an e-mail and look at your message that's returned. Now compare it with the on in the sent folder. If your sent message shows everything below the sig delimiter as light grey but your received test message does not, then we can probably say it's your SMTP server that's doing it, and if so, they are munging your message body which is wrong. If neither your sent nor received message show light grey below the sig delimiter, then let me know and we'll troubleshoot further from there.

C> -3) Couldn't it be possible that some ISP strip off end of line spaces??? Possible again, the above test will tell. C> -4) How do you, moderators, filter the bad delimiters out? Using Rich Text/HTML viewer. It's *immediately* apparent when someone does not have a proper sig delimiter as it's *not* grey below the sig delimiter. -- Cheers, Leif Gregory List Moderator (and fellow registered end-user) PCWize Editor / ICQ 216395 / PGP Key ID 0x7CD4926F Web Site <http://www.PCWize.com> TB FAQ <http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/FAQ.html> Using The Bat! 2.05 Beta/16 under Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 on a P4 1.6Ghz OC'd to 2.32Ghz with 512MB.
