Your signature should be detached when replying. The cut mark is
understood by many email clients (not just TB) and the use of it
*before* a signature is a very widely recognised standard - nay - a
courtesy!

The cut mark is also a requirement when writing to the TB lists. So,
without any more ado, and explanations complete, I proudly present
you with a small trout all of your very own :-).

Note: This moderator's interjection is a note to all readers and not
just to the person being replied to, even if their post may have
instigated this reply. Please don't feel singled out Michael.

Please include a signature delimiter in your messages. This consists
of a <dash><dash><space><return>, i.e., a '-- ' by itself on a line.
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.

Thank you.
</moderator>
