Ahh yes, but each of the ^ added additional Chracters. which also increase the file size somewhat. Maybe not as much as html. Also unless the person used a Graphic for signature should not add that much to a message. Also following a thread is a little easier because it uses the "thin blue line" in Plain text using the > character adds to the length of each line and breaks up lines eventually. The character use in Moz /N6 is not much better because the thick grey line is almost as wide as the >. And since the thick grey line is a type of graphic it adds to size of the file as well the > or : are text so they don't add as much. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Phillip M.
