I doubt the OP has much control over that behaviour; especially if that happens to be their ISP. I agree, but what the OP can do is use a proper sig which begins in the first column with a hyphen followed by another hyphen, a space, and a newline. That will not prevent the service provider from appending the ad, but it will make it possible for many (most? all?) mail readers to hide the sig (and everything after it) if the user so desires. -- Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Don't replay to spam
The original "trying freeBSD 9.1 [...]" mail is spam, since the original message had a "signature" about face lifting or something like that.
