 Please include a signature delimiter in your messages. This consists
 of a dashdashspacereturn, i.e., a '-- ' by itself on a line.
 This allows your readers, when replying, to quote your text without
 the signature and list footers since everything below and including
 the sig delimiter is excluded when quoting.

Thank you for that tip - I had for years seen the
dashdashspacereturn above signatures but didn't know it had a
functional purpose.

 You can easily automate this process by including the sig delimiter in
 your templates.

I have, thanks to your mini-education, which I do appreciate.

Bob Riley

Even if you barely have a signature to speak of, that doesn't make any
difference to whether or not you need a cut mark. You are being
courteous to other readers since at least three lines of text is added
to your signature by the list server.
