Is point at the very end of the message when you attach the file? Even after the signature? Otherwise the last part of the mail isn't the word document but a text/plain part... -- Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns? Given that a signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages. Seize the opportunity and don't waste your signature on bullshit that nobody cares about.
