I have been on this list for quite sometime now, and I have seen some emails pointing you to some general guidelines on your sig length and the validity of the sig itself. I see that for whatever reason(s), you do not wish to comply to those requests. However, here are my two paise anyway:
1. Please send mail in text/plain only. 2. Use sig-dashes to indicate the beginning of your sinature. I am posting some pointers/urls of Sven Guckes here:
[pointer 1] Q: Why use a signature dashes line ("sigdashes") for signatures? A: Programs can then detect signature more easily. Then they can colorize them and show them in a monospaced font ("ascii art"), or hide them from view, delete them on replies, or save them to your sig archive.
[pointer 2] (1) Sigs are preceded by the "sigdashes" line, ie "\n-- \n" (dash-dash-space). (2) Sigs contain at least the name and address of the sender in the first line. (3) Sigs are at most four lines and at most eighty characters per line.
And finally some URLs: http://learn.to/sign http://www.guckes.net/sig/
Thanks for your patience. Cheers, Gautam
