A small (but important) technical note. The proper separator for
.sigs is "-- " (dash dash space). Yours is missing the space.
Correct separators allow newsreaders to auto-trim signatures.
Thanks. I'm aware of this, but I usually insert the .sig
manually, and it's easy to forget.
Oh, you're using Google Groups. Yeah, that makes things tougher. I
think they may actually delete space as unneeded even if its present.
I don't think so, since it is usually there.
The real problem with Google Groups, of course, is that you're
reading the group in a web interface, and responding in a Post
box of your browser. Which means copying the article into a
decent editor, editing, and then pasting back. And the decent
editor generally doesn't know that it is dealing with an
article, and so doesn't know to append the signature; I have to
do it manually.
I've recently started using "It's All Text" with Firefox, so the
decent editor (gvim) is now invoked automatically, with the
text, and (in my case at least) throug a shell script. So it's
only a matter of time before I get the script set up to let vim
know that it's responding to a posting, so that it can append
the .sig automatically.
