By "mail" I mean the full mail (with headers). Some headers : are not contained in the signature (like the "delivered to" headers) : because it is normal to be added after the signature but others (like : subject or a footnote in message body advertising a service (common in : free email services)) should not be changed after the signature. : : Common email clients SHOULD NOT create such problems. Homemade on the : other hand... : : Christos Triantafyllidis : Christos and everyone else, Changing all three settings to the same number did the trick. Thanks for yer help.
