That might show you if > its Gnus or the server. hi richard! nice to hear from you especially since it was primarily your post on emacs.help that prompted me to go with gnus! this isn't a big deal as far as posting since i already know how to by-pass the problem. i'm just trying to find out what the significance of gnus-signature-limit variable is. i also have only tried this on gmane.emacs.gnus.user gmane.test i've see some people set it to 500 or do stuff like: (setq gnus-signature-limit '(200.0 "^------Forward")) which apparently means that if there are more than 200 lines or there is that forward line it shouldn't be considered a sig. none of this worked for me - it's like the line limit of 4.0 is hardwired into gnus. :D possibly the sig-limit variable is used to handle other people's posted sigs? the forward matter can particularly be an issue i guess since i like to introduce forwarded text with a short blurb followed by my sig. in any case, i'll move on with something else since this is a really fun software to explore! however, if you or anyone can provide further insight into the sig-limit variable, it will always be appreciated. -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's
