Jonathan:
Thanks for your help. I did find the download, and this morning, I
got my registration key. Guess I was just too anxious.

I've never heard of the signature delimiter you describe above. Is
this a custom or requirement for The Bat mailing list? After I read
your email, I checked other mail from TB, and much of it does indeed
seem to have the delimiter you mention. But I don't find it used in
any of the other three business-related lists I belong to.
As it happens, with my "normal" signature (which I didn't use for the
email I sent with my question but which I have included below), I do
have a double dash after my name and before my company information. It
was done originally for aesthetic purposes, not for the reason you
describe.
However, it seems inappropriate, to me, to put the double dash
*before* my name because then it separates my name from what I've
written, and that interrupts the flow of the correspondence. It's like
signing one's name on a separate sheet of paper when writing something
by hand.
Also, while I can understand wanting to get rid of the "commercial
messages" many people (including me) use in their email, what's the
purpose of stripping out the sender's name?
