To make sure, start with a new file and NEVER let the cursor reach the 5th line. If that doesn't help, edit your "elmrc" file (if you are using elm for your mail) to set the sigdashes off. Good luck. At my site, the NNTP (NetNews) software cuts the sigs after four lines, and emails you to tell you that you should not have a sig longer than four lines. -- Michael (Strider) Coyle mic...@sfu.ca Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada "Freedom begins between the ears." - Edward Abbey
