A
signature delimiter is a line of
text in an
email or a
news posting that separates the
body of a
message from the
sender's
signature. The commonly
accepted
delimiter is:
--
(that's
two dashes, a
space, and a
newline - "-- \n")
Generally, one should not
quote anything after the last
signature delimiter when
replying. Some
mail and
news programs
automatically do this; with others the user
should (but usually doesn't)
snip the
signature manually.
In certain
newsgroups you will get
flamed for quoting a
signature or using an
incorrect delimiter.
Those who quote my signature and have modems of questionable quality find their connections dropped... +++ATH0 is my friend
