Sam,
Just to make this clear: I wasn't blaming Ehud. I was bringing it to his
attention that his signature separator is non-standard (i.e., my mailing
software [pine] didn't recognize it as such). Now that it's confirmed
that this behavior is due to PGP, I stand corrected.
FWIW, I didn't see any advertisement in Ehud's signature, only an
expression of his views that everyone has a right to.
Igor
P.S. Frankly, I'm using a relatively old version of pine here (4.44,
imposed by our sysadmin staff), so it might well be fixed by now.
