Sometimes user training is the only answer. (And some users are more trainable than others) BTW... It's good practice to remove signatures when you reply to a message. Particularly when using a mail client like yours that does not use quote characters to distinguish the original message. My mail client will automatically cut off everything after the signature marker above my name when I reply. So I had to edit your original message before I replied to it every time or your comments got removed as part of a signature block. -- Bowie
