Salut!

Well, my "simple" solution to the above mentioned "problem" is not to
bug Tom Dell for more sig lines or adding the "--" etc., but to use
Roy Silvernail's AppSig program!  As you will see, my default sig.
lines ALL start with "--".  Simple and easy to set up, and most
important, IT WORKS!  Thanks Roy!

Regards,
Magus.
