It was not intended as such. I didn't realise it was aimed at me :) I delete all the messages where people sound off at each other. The position, contents and format of the .sig are dictated by govt policy. Carrying the most important information in the e-mail, the .sig comes first. I'm sorry there's nothing I can do about it. My e-mail address should have given you a hint. The change of .sig format occurred about 3 months ago when we were moved off our primitive unix machines and mail clients onto modern Linux boxes with WINE, runnning everything a developer needs - Lotus Notes, MSWord, Excel, Power point, IE. As you can imagine this has boosted productivity by allowing us to communicate more effectively with our administrators. For instance my saved mail files now all have DOS carriage control and none of the mail headers which used to clutter up my old saved mail files. I can send e-mail with blinking text instead of plain text if I want. The X-window mouse swiping cut-and-paste nastiness has been disabled and instead we have dozens of pull down menues to guide us through each step of the way.
