They're common in some varieties of mailing list, but pretty uncommon on Usenet overall (although admittedly I have seen them). Most of what I see on Usenet in digest format are FAQs. > As the evaluation form doesn't really say, and I like to see the good > things in people... :-) Right. :) > I would like to see the signature omitting stuff, though. So would I, although I don't really need it. Following is a bit of elisp code I wrote that has been referred to by at least one friend of mine as "the best reason to switch to using emacs to post and send mail that I've seen." :) ;; Delete anything between the current point and the signature (defined as ;; the block starting with "-- " at the beginning of a line. *Extremely* ;; useful for killing quoted text.

(interactive) (save-excursion (push-mark (point) t t) (re-search-forward "^-- ") (forward-line -1) (kill-region (mark) (point)))) -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
