Thank you. This is pretty clearly the problem:

I will tell BellAliant that. I'd hope they'd be interested. But of 
course the userbase of Seamonkey users is probably pretty small, from 
their point of view.

Yep. So what I expect they'll say is, "Why don't you use Firefox, 
like most of the people who don't use IE?"  But I'll try.

This, though, I don't understand:

I've done my signature like this since about 1988, and I've never had 
anybody suggest that (or never noticed anyone except yours with the "-
- " on a separate line. Why?
