I didn't realise it was aimed at me :) I delete
all the messages where people sound off at each other.

The position, contents and format of the .sig
are dictated by govt policy. Carrying the most
important information in the e-mail, the .sig
comes first.

I'm sorry there's nothing I can do about it.
My e-mail address should have given you a hint.

The change of .sig format occurred about 3 months ago
when we were moved off our primitive unix machines
and mail clients onto modern Linux boxes with WINE,
runnning everything a developer needs - Lotus Notes,
MSWord, Excel, Power point, IE. As you can imagine
this has boosted productivity by allowing us to
communicate more effectively with our administrators.
For instance my saved mail files now all have DOS
carriage control and none of the mail headers which
used to clutter up my old saved mail files. I can
send e-mail with blinking text instead of plain text
if I want. The X-window mouse swiping cut-and-paste
nastiness has been disabled and instead we have dozens
of pull down menues to guide us through each step of
the way.
