No need to duck :) The bottom line is that we all have the freedom to put what ever we want in our sig's or in the message and there would be as many complaints if messages were censored because of inclusion of material that a moderator objected to. However we all need to be sensitive to what is appropriate behavior in relation to a target audience. So the simple action of including unrelated content that should be known to be offensive to other readers can be somewhat annoying - be it in the body or the sig! So returning to the subject slightly - do any of the eMail packages actually allow you to select 'sig' on a folder by folder basis. I use Moz1.7 myself and know that this is set globally for the account, but perhaps we should be pressing for more flexibility, so that sig's that are appropriate to the target audience can actually be managed. ( A Reply button that uses the list address rather than a personal one would be useful as well, along with selecting compose on a folder that is mark as an eMail list using automatically using that list address as well - selecting an appropriate sig would dovetail in with that - then we can work how we want to work rather than being further annoyed by what other people dictate :) ) -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services Treasurer - Firebird Foundation Inc.
