    Animated GIFs look not bad on CAB 1.5, if you have enough memory for
the images because otherwise CAB doesn't display them. I have here a big
640*480*256 GIF with something like 30 included pictures, even with 4 MB I
won't see it... even if the GIF file itself is 170 KB long.

    I find them funny once offline... but you are right about the look and
the (interesting) content. Anyway I must say I prefer Usenet to the web!


>4 lines are the generally accepted maximum sig length,

    It's even stated in the Netiquette (RFC 1855).


>and the correct signature separator is '-- '.

    The "__" (2 underlines) is an Oasis problem. Could be cured by a
little patch in OASIS.PRG, replace them twice by "--" (2 minus). The third
character of the real separator, a space, can't be added. But as spaces
(and tabs) at end of lines are often lost in transport... More info on
Oasis patches in article <853354824_OASIS_@nordnet.fr>.


Bye!    Bruno.
