I'd be surprised if a current version of LISTSERV didn't remove them automatically, or at least have an option to do so--when properly formatted. OTOH, how many folks here besides him and me knew about that convention? I fear it's one that's sorta died since Usenet died. Which is a shame.
Wait, convention isn't CRLF SP, it's <linend>HYPHEN HYPHEN SPACE<linend> Shmuel, I see the two hyphens but not the space in yours. Did it get stripped by your client? Or LISTSERV? Might make sure it's really still there... -- ...phsiii (note sig in above as a test to see whether a properly formatted one DOES get stripped) -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Pew, Curtis G Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2024 12:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Off topic discussions On Jul 10, 2024, at 11:43 AM, Seymour J Metz <[email protected]> wrote: Is an automatically added signature, preceded by the standard CRLF SP sig delimiter, considered part of the discussion. I would say “no”. I’m happy to ignore potentially offensive text in a signature. I really miss my old e-mail software, where I could define different automatic signatures for different recipients. Since very few email clients support this, I think it would be creating an unnecessary burden to expect people to alter their signatures just to post here. -- Curtis Pew ITS [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
