That's interesting. Now I have the proof that all my messages you complaint about
were sent with the sig delimiter as it should be. This Rich text viewer
shows all my messages in the Sent Mail folder with everything below the sig
delimiter as light grey.

If I send myself a message which just goes to my local mail server everything
is OK. Outgoing and incoming message have the sig delimiter as it
should be.

If I send a message which leaves my local server and goes out on the
net, it comes back with the spoiled delimiter.

I made another test using not my usual SMTP server, but another one.
In this case all delimiters are unchanged and OK, even if they come in
through my usual server.

This means that there must be a ISP in the *outgoing* chain of my usual
*SMTP* server who strips my end of line spaces away.

(Am I right or did I forget an element when I came to this
conclusion?)

C>> -3) Couldn't it be possible that some ISP strip off end of line spaces???

LG> Possible again, the above test will tell.

What could be the reason that they do this??

I heard that some ISP auto-convert MIME to 8-bit. But I do not know
what this implies?

Didn't anybody meet similar problems?
