Signature curiosity

**LightByrd**

I have always used a mail text signature.
Recently I replaced it with an HTM file of my signature.
So far so good!
But now when I reply to a mail written solely in text (no HTML),
My original text signature appears twice!
Replying to HTML mail does not do this.
I have:
1) made the HTM sig default
2) deleted the original text sig
3) looked in the registry for the text sig. (not there)
4) checked the "do not add sig to replies/forwards
(that works, but I don't want that option)

What gives?
Thanks!

Yes it did, Bruce -- thank you.
It replaced it with my HTML sig.
I had that box checked since I frequent Usenet, which,as you know, is a text
medium.
(of course, in that forum, my text news sig would, and does, kick in.)
But your cure does insert my HTML sig into a reply to a text-only mail, not
that such is much of a problem, these days.

Still curious just how OE6 resurrects a sig I had deleted.
Could it be converting the HTML sig to text when replying to a text-only
mail?
If so, why does it repeat itself.?

If I read you correctly, it may have been "repeating" because it was being
viewed as HTML. Such like when you attach a pix and it is viewable after the
tex as well as an attachment?

Just a thought. OE is fickle.

You need a SPACE and cr/lf following the two dashes. Dash, dash, space
is the sig tag. It must be on a line by itself. Everything after it
will be ignored by most readers. Which means, of course, do NOT use it
if you stop in the middle of a mail or post because everything after it
will be removed. Unless you want it removed, that is. It works best
with bottom-posting, obviously.

Regards,

Twayne

Note that, because I top posted, AND used a sig, ALL of the text below
it is gone in a Reply, including all the info the post is about.

This is a sig preceded by dash, dash space on a line by itself.

Thanks Ron....
Here's what I came up with...
html
body
div bfont face="Monotype Corsiva" size="4"
color="#333399"--/font/b/div
divfont face="Monotype Corsiva" size="3" color="#333399"All The
Best,/font/div
divfont face="Monotype Corsiva" size="3"
color="#333399"Richard/font/div
/body
/html

Note I added the double dash delimiter.
Works great in replying to an HTML message
however............when I reply to a mail written in text (no HTML),
it appears as such....

--All the Best, Richard

Ideas?

DIVFONT face=Verdana size=2Regards,/FONT/DIV
DIVFONT face=Verdana size=2Richard Harison/FONT/DIV

Each line should be in a DIV.

OE fickle?
Imagine that!
I opened my HTM sig file with FrontPage and deleted all the stuff I
considered extraneous.
I then rechecked the reply in format sent box.
The duplication went away, and the HTML sig reverted to text.
The only difference is that it misses the line break.
So it now says: Regards, Richard Harison
HTML sig works fine
OE a curious animal indeed.
Thanks again!
