Plus Disk - I do not think you can do that unless you copied all the disk to your hard
drive including all the .cab files and the setup.exe file.
The sig or signature is the crap at the bottom of the message that helps indentify
yourself to others and/or provide contact info. Usually limited to 4 lines of text
and may include some ascii art.

Reason I was testing the sig...
The problem is that a good mail program is suppose to "strip from sig" to end of
message when you hit reply. I can't seem to get Eudora 5.0 to do this.
To make most programs strip the sig, you need to add "-- " with just one space at the
end of 2 dashes on line by itself and without the quotes. Seems the feature is not
working in Eudora.
If we all used an email program that would do this, and added the "-- " to our sig,
then you would not have to worry about those multiple Topica ads at the bottom or
cutting it out when making a reply. The mail program would strip from sig to end of
message thus cutting out all the crap at the end of the message. Since Topica is
going to ad it again anyway... Look through some of the Re:'s to the informant you
have and you will see some message with multiple topica crap inside the message.
I've been trying to figure out how to do this with a filter of sorts. However, the
only solutions I could find will not work for everyone. One is to install the perl
plugin to eudora and then use a filter to run a perl script that would filter the
message and strip the sig and ads.
Another (unpopular method) I might ad, would be to ad a visual basic script to your
sig (hidden from the users view) and send mail in html format (which most people
hate). The script could then strip the topic sig automatically when you view the
message in html format. You would never see the ads.
The perl plugin method would work great, but there are 2 major problems. First the
user would have to have perl installed (mega download!) and also the darn perl plugin
just doesn't work with the latest version of Eudora!
Last but not least I did find a quick method to strip html from a message inside
Eudora...
ctrl+a
alt+e x e
ctrl+s
That will trip the html from a message, but since Windows no longer has the old Macro
Recorder there is no way to automate this. And unlike the Apple version of Eudora
which uses apple scripts, windows relies on filters. You could call a program with a
filter, but the question is how do you get the output of the program back into your
message? The external program would have to interface with the Eudora api for this to
work.
I'm open to suggestions.
