Sometime it does. At least for OE it meats "start of signature". Two minus
and a trailing space. Which is interpreted as "end of message coming up".
There's archiving software that cuts postings off just there, a dangerous
thing for us top posters (top in the meaning of Replying above the question,
not as in Jolly Fellers). I remove the trailing space whenever I remember
it. ...anything to avoid bottom posting <bg>

 

[Debra Dalgleish]

Not a problem for top posters who use Netscape!
(It places the signature at the end.)

By golly, you're right. Didn't notice. A ping of the "atomic clock" fixed
all.
Thanks Ken.
