Dick, was your reply self-referential, or did you intentionally include 'that' line? :-) While we are pointing such things out, maybe some of the site administrators should point out to the people on their sites that if they have the file '.signature' in their home directory, it will (probably) be appended onto the end of their article... This will probably cut down on the double signatures on a lot of articles... I think we should modify inews to take a line from a file called '.bug_chow' and make that line the first line of the article body. :-) -- Craig Miller Honeywell Info.
