Sam, Just to make this clear: I wasn't blaming Ehud. I was bringing it to his attention that his signature separator is non-standard (i.e., my mailing software [pine] didn't recognize it as such). Now that it's confirmed that this behavior is due to PGP, I stand corrected. FWIW, I didn't see any advertisement in Ehud's signature, only an expression of his views that everyone has a right to. Igor P.S. Frankly, I'm using a relatively old version of pine here (4.44, imposed by our sysadmin staff), so it might well be fixed by now. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ pechtcha AT cs DOT nyu DOT edu ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ igor AT watson DOT ibm DOT com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
