Thank you, but that didn't answer my question. :-) NS IS removing something, because the "Header" IS there with other email programs, and I HAVE seen the header there with a few other's NS email program. I need to know how NS can be made to show this header that has the sender's email address in it, that other email programs (and NS in some instances) are capable of showing. (as in the steps to configure it to so this so I can pass it along).
Without getting into a NS debate, :-) I fail to see how the 'correct position' of a sig file is below all threads and below a footer. The logical place for it is after one's typed text. If it were not for mine and it's position, members would have to scroll down to the very bottom of this thread to just to see who sent it. Email programs are not people. ;-) Since those that are watching a thread with interest (or the one that posted the original email) already knows what the original question was, it's stands to reason they do not want to have to read it again or scroll through it in order to see the latest answer. I guess that's just a matter of preference or viewpoint. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald E.

Signatures belong at the bottom of a message after the "cutmarks" (normally seen as two dashes). Hence, Netscape (and other standard programs) places them in the correct position. The reason for this is to allow removal by pseudo-anonymous remailers and also standard mail readers that require deleting of "footer" (which includes signatures) information. NS doesn't remove headers, in fact no e-mail program does. All e-mail programs only "show" some or certain headers. To see the remaining headers usually requires an extra menu step in the program. Eudora requires the "blah blah blah" button (show all headers); Outlook Express requires Right-click -- Properties -- Details, Pine requires "H" key (full header display), etc. The main problem with MS products is that they are always making their products different from the way "standard" and pre-existing software works. They are always trying to re-define standards which makes it extremely difficult for those individuals that used products long before MS ever had one available. Except for the TV game Jeopardy, most people provide an answer after a question is asked, not before. Hence, the standard practice of seeing a message followed by the answer. Not the MS backwards method of the answer followed by the question. USENET and e-mail both predate MS's entry into the Internet where all the standards and methods of doing things were first laid out. These pre-existing methods are the current standards and no matter how much MS wants to change them, they cannot. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
