Also, please avoid including those double dashes in your messages. They're supposed to be the separator, between the message and signature, which means that anything following will be ignored in a reply.
Hi James,
The transition from message body to signature is accomplished by the combination [CR/LF or "New Line"] + [Dash] + [Dash] + [Space] + [CR/LF or "New Line"].
An "ellipsis" ("..." or "--") in the message body that doesn't meet that criteria completely won't be misinterpreted -- unless there's something wrong with the e-mail client. Click "reply" to see if the last half of my previous sentence gets chopped off. ;-)
No, your's is fine. In the message that I made those comments about, the double dashes were at the left end of the line, with nothing to the right and the rest of the message was cut off. I had to cut 'n paste from the original message, to include the relative info.
