I don't see why anyone should not use a perfectly reasonable and standards compliant way of signing his mails just to please buggy mail clients. If you choose to use one of those, then live with it's deficiencies but don't blame Pid because he uses a 14-year old standard which the vendor of your "mail client" has still failed to implement. 2. A quick scan through the 37596 posts to this list in my current archive (going back till mid-March 2008) shows 957 of them which seem to be sent with OE. That's roughly 2.5%. At least on this mailing list, it's not "most" (not even "many people") that use OE. I doubt that it's much different on other lists with IT subjects. -- Regards mks --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
