I only partially agree. I think the point is that the prompts at the
bottom of the message are being clipped off by tbirds broken use of
the '\n-- ' marker, and those 'signature' type things are never being
seen by the clueless user of tbird, so he remains clueless. As to
whether or not that behaviour can be turned off, I don't use tbird,
so I cannot advise.
So, if these users do not see my sig, which contains a quote
from Ed Howdershelt and advisories to the yahoo & AOL/TW attornies,
then he is also never going to see those howto messages. Thats my
point.
