I'm perplexed. Putting the sig at the end of a top posting will cause everything after the posting itself to be cut from the reply; it will remove the message to which I'm replying. In other words, it will do only too good a job of keeping messages short. When I type in a sig by hand to a top post, I put it after my (top) post, rather than at the end of the whole message; most posters to mailing lists that use top posting do the same. I might say, as an aside, that some mail composers that I've used can outsource the composition editor to an external editor. MH (now hopelessly obsolete) did this, which was a feature I liked. Ckeditor, among others, could support this function in Evolution. -- All the best - jon When You Drive Alone, You Drive With bin Laden. -- Bill Maher _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
