The difference: Warp's signature is 2 lines.  Way below the McQuary Limit.
Yours is six lines, which is already in excess of the limit, plus a mostly-
useless MIME attachment that eats up another 22 lines and incidentally adds
an extra step to reading your postings with text-mode newsreaders such as
slrn (which I use) that want to do the right thing with MIME-formatted 
postings.  Just because some idiot at Nutscrape doesn't understand USENET 
culture doesn't mean you have to meekly follow along.
