But you _did_ say that your newsreader didn't make you do anything wrong, which was (technically) incorrect. I was just pointing out that it's a rare MS product that doesn't do at least one thing the brain dead, broken way. ;) >>(Of course, using OE at all would also get you labelled an arse in the >>aforementioned groups, but hacking it to be RFC compliant would gain you a >>certain measure of grudging respect...) > >Bah, too technical (Of course, I'm willing to listen to solutions ;)) All together now: "Get a real newsreader!" ;) >>[sig left as an example] >Bah, you always do that anyway :D Ah, but that's because your newsreader is broken. If you had a valid sig separator, my (compliant) newsreader would automatically snip your sig out. ;) [sig snipped] Cheers, Tim ([UKF]Contact). -- Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.
