Well I am back to OUTLOOK and it puts the signature on the top here.
Personally I don't care a whit who said what, only what they said. I don't
se why it matters at all. In fact, some people like to be anonymous, and
that is no problem if they don't put out spam.
I belong to 40 lists and this is the ONLY one that anyone has complained
about people not signing a post.
Nevertheless, I have done it as it seems that it has become a tradition
here!
