The dashes he uses as a separator causes newsreaders to treat his response as a sig line. Sig lines usually aren't included in a reply. Maybe he wants it that way. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Didn't realize that. Does the upward arrows used in this reply as a separator work? I use a separator because the most recent post to which I am usually replying to does not have the traditional, single, double, triple right facing arrows that identify a previously posted quote. On my ipad the dash separator makes the following look like the sig line, where the new separator has dark print. |

I am not sure what to change, so I'll leave things alone. |

I think it's your separator in conjunction with mine, and when I try to get rid of mine Agent says a 'persona' of 'none' won't work. I'm not wild about this new, to me, Agent. -- John H. Hope you're having a great day! |

Hope you're having a great day! separator I tried "Agent" and "Thunderbird" years ago in their earlier versions. I never saw any big benefit over the standard newsreader that came with the various Windows mail and newsgroup packages. I use "Windows Mail" on my Vista machine and "Windows Live Mail" on the Windows 7 computer (this one). I have no problem reading newsgroups and emails, I can filter by "Handle" or email address ... or create custom filters. I see all the previous exchanges in a thread and can delete or add anything to them. I can also sort the treads by date, poster, conversation (which I use because it keeps all posts on a subject together) or subject and can display in ascending or decending mode by date. There are options to hide all read messages, display all messages (including previously viewed ones) and much more, including text only or html modes. I use text only for newsgroups and html for email. . Once I determined the settings I liked, reading newsgroups is as easy as reading emails. I don't see any reason to use a "real" newsgroup reader like you hear so many people talk about. Oh ... and I don't use a web based forum like "Google" groups to read newsgroups. |

This time your entire reply, including "separator" looked like it was part of John's sig line. That is why it was automatically removed from the quote I replied to. |

I use Newstaplite on the Ipad as Apple does not come with a. Newsreader. Different shade of gray for sig lines, and Dick's post show up as a sig line. Thing I disliked on the Newer Windows newsreader is it did not put the extra character in front of the quoted area. So you had to add some type of separator. But both my Windows machines died within a couple days, so ordered a new iMac. |
