I used to place a lot of information at the end of my messages in a signature file, but two problems occurred. First, if I use ANY signature file when attaching a .GIF file, my entire messages show-up blank...not only in Hotmail, but also other software as well. For whatever reasons, my signature files create problems with attachments. Now of course, when I am not attaching files, I can certainly use a signature file...but believe it or not I got two complaints from two members of the SignWriting List, complaining that my signature files were too long and it cost them money to download so much! I couldn't believe that one, since we have .GIF files that take a lot more memory I would think!! But such is life when running Lists...it sounds like you are much more skilled than I am! As far as other techniques such as trailers...since I am not the owner of the list, and since I know nothing about ListServe....(it is not the same as OneList)...I wouldn't know how to go about that...but I will ask Paul Cowley about it. I would worry about the .GIF attachments with trailers too, though. So what I really need to do, is to create a special web page for the List, listing all of the instructions and commands. So that is something I will do soon. Meanwhile, what do you all think about this signature file? Your comments are welcome...will it help if you need information?
