I know everyone wants to make it easier for people to trim their quotes when replying, and the cut line is one way to help. For people who sign with PGP, of course, it doesn't work, unless someone has told the recipient (and reply-er) about the magic template to take care of that, also. :) W> Come to think of it, I need to fix this reply template.... Some of mine are messed up again, too. Half the time I end up typing the cut line in manually. :) Fraught with peril, that practice!! :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 1.61 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
