Yes, if you have your user id cookie enabled (as you need cookies to view
the site anyway, this should be no big problem), you may enter it in the
"Personalise" section of the web view website and it will send you another
cookie with the signature (compressed to keep it small, of course).

Some browsers may not support word warp in text input areas but browser
limitations are out of our control.  Sorry!

It will word warp the text for you before posting as you noticed, of course.

ABX, what about using a normal "l" (even if it's pronounced differently)? 
Or just "ABX"? That would avoid many problems.

This is displayed the same as it is holded in user account probably.

That's probably only solution :-(

The invisible MID should be made visible and put after "Post a reply to 
this message".

"Reply" is AFAIK for email, it should rather be "Followup".

The signature separator (right word?) "-- " isn't displayed.

The signature is quoted.

There should be a blank after the quoting-">" IMO.

There's always one more blank line at the end quoted.

The server converts a &#xxx; to a single character in plain-text messages.

Nevertheless: Great work!

I will put it after the message in the future.  The message ID will remain
invisible however.

Like google does? Hmm...

It never was.  And it isn't specified as a signature separator anywhere
either...

The whole body of a message is quoted.  A signature is part of the body and
this it is quoted.  How could the server guess what a signature is reliably?

I will see how this can be improved.

There is always one blank line in messages in the web view.  I will see how
this can be improved when quoting.

HTML is not supported in posts.  Only plain text message texts are.

Thanks!

PS: It may take a few weeks until those changes will be made. RL does not
permit me to make them earlier.

Or write it: W~lodzimierz or W/lodzimierz, asking the readers to mentally
make the symbol "dead letter" (the typewriter roll doesn't move, so the next
letter is surimposed to the symbol).


aren't displayed but when I type a vowel after them, it makes accented
letters.

You can also use the Unix convention (in man docs): Wl^H/odzimierz (ie. l
backspace /), but it is even uglier :-(

Regards.

IIRC it's specified in an RFC, but I can't find it right now.
It /is/ a signature separator, as you can easily see by using Google.

This is not the best behavior.

By looking for "-- " as almost every newsreader does.

So what? It shouldn't convert &#xxx; but it currently does.

Nope, it is a header for some attachment formats...

Mine doesn't (not surprising though for the company making it).  The "--" is
not in the messages in the web view, and as it isn't used as universal
separator for signatures, even if it was, it wouldn't work either :-(

> So what? It shouldn't convert &#xxx; but it currently does.

No, it does not.  Only when previewing it looks that way because browser
interpret it (of course).  I will see if there is a better way to handle
this in the preview.

"\n-- \n" was specified as the signature separator in a draft RFC that was
supposed to have replaced RFC 1036, but that never happened.  Nevertheless,
it is considered by most newsreaders to be a standard.  Only the big 
commercial newsreaders like Agent and Outbreak Express (on Windows;
apparently also some on the Mac platform) seem to ignore it.

It works often enough.  My newsreader usually doesn't quote signatures; if
it does I know that it's because the sender's newsreader is using a broken
separator.  Your signature, of course, gets quoted. :)
