Hello Mr. Malke,
Could be please be a bit more precise what you mean by fixing quote &
signature?
They sound new to me.
Regards!
You are posting using the CDO (web interface). As I told you in my last
post, these groups are really Usenet newsgroups. People who regularly
use newsgroups use software called a "newsreader" to do this.
Newsreaders give you much flexibility in working with newsgroups. For
instance, I subscribe to many newsgroups and my newsreader lets me
switch between them quickly and easily, mark posts to be watched or
ignored, and lots of other options.
Most newsreaders default to stripping (deleting) all text after the
signature because when quoting, you don't want to clutter up your post
with other posters' signatures. See the little two-dash line after my
name below and before the MS-MVP stuff? That is the signature delimiter
and the MS-MVP stuff is my signature. A signature is by custom limited
to no more than 4 lines of text and can be something about yourself, a
witty saying, or the like.
Because of the way you are posting, when you quote the Original Poster
it comes after your signature, which is stripped out by regular
newsreaders. This makes more work for people trying to reply to you in
a thread because anything you quoted from the OP won't appear in their
reply. If I want to have some of the OP's post quoted - which would be
normally desirable for clarity and continuity in the thread - I have to
copy/paste it in because it doesn't appear automatically in my reply to
you because of your quoting/signature style.
