Just dont call (lines under [--]) for a signature its only the place in
a message where a new "chapter" begins, one of the worst
antispamprograms spams the newsgroups with something they call a
signature (lines under [--]) and its not, its pure spam
BTW the name of the spamming program is SPAMfighter (the free version)

He used [--], but he has to use [-- ] (without the [] of course).
Just ad one little space after the hyphens, Brett.
FWIW, XanaNews stripped it out even without the space.

Well, this is obviously an intellectual puzzle of a most stupendous
kind for me! I shall try again!
Thank you all for the tips on "munging" the email, etc. I will work
with this as soon as I have a few stray minutes (running around right
now!) I appreciate the good will!
Best to all.
And now, for my moment of TRIUMPH...
You did it.

Digital Audio Freeware used by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez...
A few weeks ago, I was listening to a fascinating 2002 interview with
filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, who has directed such movies as El Mariachi
(1992), Desperado (1995), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Spy Kids (2001),
Sin City (2005), and many others. Mr. Rodriguez is legendary for making
films on the smallest of budgets (the critically acclaimed "El
Mariachi" was shot for $7000 raised mostly by Mr. Rodriguez hiring
himself out for medical research!) He is a great believer that small
budgets force a filmmaker to be creative, whereas large studio budgets
usually bring meddling by the studio in the creative project.
In the interview, he mentioned that he had used a free program called
"Pro Tools Free" for audio work in one of the "Spy Kids" films. So I
decided to track it down. (It's available for Windows and Mac):
http://www.digidesign.com/ptfree/
"Now you can enjoy a fully functional version of the world's most
popular digital audio production environment absolutely free. Pro Tools
FREE software provides superb recording, editing and processing in the
digital domain, utilizing the same award winning interface and
technologies that characterize high-end Pro Tools workstations. With
only an audio-enabled computer and Pro Tools FREE software (based on
version 5.0.1 software), you can quickly and easily do your creativity
justice. Hook up a mic or other input source to the A/V interface or
audio card on your system, and capture inspiration play-by-play. Then
edit to your heart's content - non-destructively and instantly."
I have not test-driven the software yet, but if anyone has had any
experience with it, I'd sure be interested to learn of it.
By the way, if you'd like to hear this very interesting interview with
Mr. Rodriguez (from the NPR radio show "Fresh Air"), you may do so here
(requires the "Real Player"):
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1147837
If one embraces his philosophy, one realizes that it really has become
possible for ordinary non-rich folks to become filmmakers.
(Apparently, on the "Spy Kids 3D" DVD, there is a "10 Minute Film
School" by Rodriguez on how to get started making movies at home. (He
himself does most of his work in his garage at night.))

While it's not a major issue, as far as I can see none of your postings
up to the one I'm responding to has a space (that's a space character,
not a blank line), after the "==". In my newsreader, SuperGravity, I go
to your sig separator line and press the End key, the cursor is at
character position 3, immediately after the second "-". I go to a
posting of mine (simply because I know it has the added space, I'm not
trying to show off), and End puts the cursor at position 4, after a
space.
Some editors automatically trim trailing spaces from lines, though I
wouldn't expect a newsreader to do that.
The following line contains "--" only

But the real problem is when people use [--] as a place where a new

In http://tinyurl.com/cu8j7 or
(same message) there's
no signature, but many readers reformat or hide a lot of lines because
of [--] in the message, used as a place where the new "chapter" begins.
And in exact that case it's not the writers problem, it's the
