Stanley, your news reader is seriously *BROKEN*. It should have stripped
everything including and after Gene's sig seperator (an absolutely
standard '-- ' on a line of its own)from the quoted text. If it fails to
do so, its up to you to delete it by hand! (Or google for OE Quotefix)

And what's more likely to work, stopping '.'ing (requires the
co-operation of *all* the frustated boaters AND the trolls who now know

WTF is an antivirus program doing scanning USENET subject headers
anyway? It can and should be scanning attatchments but as this isn't a
binary group, if it strips those indiscriminately, no harm done.
