And is the ISP responsible for inserting the sig too, or is that down
at your end? Surely there must be a setting to change somewhere.


The sig is put in by the virus software. Does it make a difference to some
people?


Yes. News and mail readers recognise the dash-dash-space sequence and
automatically trim sigs from follow-ups and replies. As your sig is
dash-dash-dash Gravity (my newsreader) failed to do so, hence what it
below being below.


Just about every News reader, not just Gravity.

In IMM's case he's using OE which has broken sig-dashes[1] anyway so
even if he used that to add the sig, rather than the AV software it
would still be wrong. Guess /he/ just can't win ;-)

[1] It correctly adds dash-dash-space but then strips the trailing space
when sending. Duh!
