I tried it, and it doesn't make any difference, the footer still comes
through.  The only solution to this problem is a voluntary reduction in
the size of the .signature files on the part of our UUCP friends.


I am going to write a few utilities that solve a few things:


1) A utility to delete everything but the FROM header information from
   the Fidonet side of the messages.


2) A utility that converts the "soft" CR/LF used by some OPUS and other
   systems into hard CR/LF so that terminals on uucp that don't use
   wrapping will not have problems.  (This might be solvable using a
   different termcap entry, but I'll just try to fix it in the gateway).



Unfortunately, since .signature files don't have a standard format,
there is no way I can write a utility to strip them out.
