I use Gmail. It adds a signature to my outgoing messages, and I can configure the data in it. But Gmail automatically adds two hypens (--) at the beginning of the signature data. It appears to be followed by a space. I went into my Gmail settings for sig file, and added two hyphens, and now have four hyphens, with a space after them, I"m pretty sure. Ian said Thunderbird greys out the sig file. Good. But why didn't it work on mine? Do I need four hyphens??? -- -- Steven Streight aka Vaspers the Grate Web Usability. IT. Social Media.
