Many lists I subscribe to include subscription information preceded by a sig delimiter. This 
keeps the info from being repeated multiple times in the replies to the posts. In a long thread 
you could have the same info 10 or more times in one reply.

A lot of people do not use signatures. The appended info would not be deleted if it did not 
include a sig delimiter. Thunderbird deletes everything after the first sig delimiter in a 
post. It seems that The Bat only recognizes the last sig delimiter.

You are the first person I have seen complain about this on any of the lists I follow.

My apologies. I misread something on The Bat's website. I took "The Bat! Home Edition ... it is 
an ideal solution for common users who do not demand extra features." to mean it was a basic 
e-mail program. I can't check it out, however, since it is Windoze only.
