Hi Basil et al,

What I suggest is that *ALL* sigs be *banned* from usage on the openSUSE mail lists. This way nobody will get offended, there will not be any need for posts like your current one - and people can then only whinge and complain about the CONTENTS of the posts and not about sigs. The problem with this is that by banning all sigs you would be giving in to (as you called them) the wankers.
Conversely, at least one person was banned because of wanker(s) - who then never appeared again on this list. Interesting no?
Also people like me would just leave the group
Ah the old "I'll leave openSUSE and its lists" gambit :-) . How many times I have read this one. But don't take offence, I have used it myself in the past :-)
because I would not even bother to trying to remember "can I use a sig on this group?". In fact is it even possible to tell Kmail to not do (or to do) something on a group level? What I mean is can you set up Kmail to use my standard sig on one email group and use another sig on groups with lots of wankers otherwise known as the "Pat sig"? :)
I have never used Kmail in my life and therefore cannot tell you what it can do or cannot do. Someone who knows Kmail may be able to help you. But I have heard that there are add-ons for Firefox I believe - but I have *not* pursued this subject - where you can specify which sig to use where. But, as I said, I have heard of this but have not followed up on this. Nevertheless, there are 2 obvious alternatives to this: the first is: why does one even need to use a sig at end of every message? Most of my friends who post to me privately do not use a sig. It is the FROM in the Header which identifies them and not the sig at the end of their post; and the second is: it doesn't take much effort to left-click and hold on the beginning of the sig to highlight it and then press the DELETE key.
