As it happens, it does affect the actual. The so-called "Signature delimiter" is really called a "Cut Mark". It is the point at which signatures are cut off for an orderly reply. In the case of top-posted email, that effectively ruins the thread. So, the cut mark or sig delimiter is incompatible with top-posting. While I rant a lot against top posting here on the list and it is against the rules of the list, I do use top-posting in a lot of my professional emails with clients. For that purpose I have a couple of top-post templates that deliberately exclude the cut mark. I recommend that you do the same rather than call for a change in behaviour that would result in masking and softening the fact that TB shows the true effect of a cut mark in that position. -- Cheers -- //.arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v4.1.11.6 on Windows Vista 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 '
