Indeed. No offense offered Amanda, but a scruffy 200dpi gif of your sig is taking your point over the top, yes? Net Goddess or no...

You bothered ? $ This message contains data in an unrecognized format, image/gif, $ which can be decoded and written to a file. $ Please enter the name of a file to which the data should be written, $ or just press RETURN to skip writing it to a file. <many unhappy RETURNs later> Heh, that was irritating. Did I mention that ELM dumps core sometimes when I "press RETURN to skip writing it to a file" ? Regular mailbombing would be easier to handle. To answer Amanda's question, IMHO PGP blocks longer than message bodies are crap only when they come in weird formats that coerce me to press extra keys. Once I start reading one of these clunkers, I can't even escape to the main menu until I've stepped through the whole damn thing. Sometimes the parts in between the "press RETURN"s are longer than a screen, and scroll off into the ether unread. - -L.
