I've only been using Thunderbird a short while. It doesn't have a nice
easy way to attach a signiture like OE does. i wasn't aware the sig

Not very intuitive, that.
Apologies to all.

For ***** sake, if its *anything* like Mozilla Mail&News, it will have
the option to attach a signature FILE. Select this, not the vCard, then
click the choose file button. Right click a blank part of the folder
opened in the choose file dialog and select 'new' 'text document'.
Type a file name for the signature, then click off it to apply that
name. Right click it and choose 'Open' (not the 'open' button!). It will
open in notepad (or your configured text editor). Type in your
signature. Save and exit Notepad. NOW double click that file and you
will be returned to Account settings with the Sig filename correctly
filled in.

*VERY IMPORTANT* START WITH '-- ' Enter (without the quotes), THATS DASH
DASH SPACE NEWLINE
This is essential as it lets other people's (standards complient *)
newsreaders find the start of your signature so it doesn't get quoted
when they reply to you. (* Not Outlook express, of course)



Hope this helps :-)
