(It would remove > everything below the edit along with the sig, pre SR-1.) That may be what causes it then. I think may then also run into it all the time. In my sig, I have a blank line, then my "closing", then my sig. I guess I frequently start typing on the blank line which then makes EvX do the "wrong" thing. By the "wrong" thing, I mean not what I expect it to do. Could there be a "better" way to handle it? I'm not a programmer but I'm assuming that it's probably not something easy to program to handle changing of signatures (and determining how and why the sig may have been changed). Personally I've never been bitten by the typing in my sig and then changing the sig and losing everything I've typed but I'm guessing that since this behavior was "improved" that others have been bitten. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. -- Ryan "Looking for a new job" La Riviere System Administrator; Drexel University 215.895.6010 <http://staff.tdec.drexel.edu/~edljedi/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
