Fabulous, thanks!  Strangely I didn't even consider googling it.  I 
guess in retrospect I was more interested in complaining than in 
actually fixing it.

Funny how those of us that have been using computers since before the 
internet do that. ;-)

My complaint is that I have to remember if the recipient used Windoze or 
Linux. And whether I should use [colon] [dash] [close brackets] or 
[colon] [close brackets]. But that is a matter of self congratulatory 
pride. ;-)

Now if I could make everyone put a LF CR after the double dash in their 
sigs to stop the sig being incorporated in the reply. I would be very 
happy indeed. (Yes Jim Henderson. I am talking to you. :P )
