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. You can easily automate this process by including the sig delimiter in your templates. 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. ... and, no, we can't add the cut mark to the list footer on the server because when there are 2 cut marks in a message, only the last is used.

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. As this comes up over and over and over again, perhaps it's time to edit the list rules to include the statement that sig delimiters are mandatory despite the fact that any individual poster may not have what they consider to be a signature that's being delimited? Presently, the list rules only say, place the sig delimiter before your signature, which then means that every single new reader of this list will get the same moderator's message. Seems like the straight- forward solution would be to simply put this /requirement/ in the rules? For reference, the appropriate place to make the edit is likely in rule 'g'. thx, -tom! -- Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
