Just out of curiosity, what the heck is that? If it's your automatic
..signature file, you can delete it and then use the editor's append
function to put it only on the messages where you want it... Though I'd
think you'd do that if you could. Does your Internet Provider put this on
all outgoing news and mail or something? (Seems pretty stupid... such an
IP should read a few USENET FAQs regarding binaries and netiquette and
reprogram as indicated...)
