    That I don't know.
    Very strange. When I reply to one of my own posts, the sig is stripped.

    I'll investigate further, John.

    I *would* expect QuoteFix to recognize its own formatting. That tells us
    nothing.

    For a bad example of non-compliant formatting, check out this page:
    http://www.howdoidoit.net/sinkinstal.htm
    Try it in Mozilla or Firefox, and then in IE.

    It renders OK in IE, but terrible in any other browser. It was compiled in
    Microsoft Office, which ignores any sort of cross-browser compatibility and
    formats stuff for itself only. Typical Microsoft.

    See the little musical notes in the text boxes in Firefox? That's the CR/LF
    pair. For some reason Office wants to place them inside what ought to be
    the text portion of the text box, as though it were part of the displayable
    text, and not where you'd expect the formatting to go. IE, of course, is
    designed to accept that. Firefox wants to render it as text, which you
    can't do with non-printing characters like 13 and 10.

    Having been all through my settings, I can confidently say
    sorry it was me! Between the 5th and 8th of June I registered
    a new domain for our Astronomy Society and had, therefore
    to change the URL in my two (mail and news) sig files.

    Somehow the first line (-- ) had got lost in the news sig file. 8¬(

    Thanks for the heads up and you were the first one to notice and
    report it to me, John.

    Fingers crossed.

    Yes the same application does take it out, as you surmised.

    However, when I put the line in I got two sig seps!

    So I took one out and then restarted W98SE to make sure and
    tested in my ISPs force9.test NG. It was OK so I'm trying here
    to see what happens 'live'.

    Yep. I understand OE likes to strip out trailing spaces...

    Have you considered using a different app for NNTP? Personally, I don't
    like using the same program for NNTP and mail due to the ease with which
    you can send to the wrong place.

    Check your owners manual. If you dont have one, all you do is hold in the
    odometer reset button then turn ign. key to accessory while holding the
    reset button watch until light goes out then release button TA-DA.

    Having just purchased a 2003 CR-V (now own 2 of these grteat cars!!) I am
    glad that I didn't ask a question and get the RTFM response which assumes
    that there IS a manual in an otherwise good car...--
    Thanks,

  17. --------------------------------------------

    Read the declaration in the inside cover of any Honda manual. It says
    the manual should be considered PART OF THE VEHICLE and should be
    included when it is sold.

    If you didn't get the manual, tell the clown to mail it to you.

    BTW, your Dual Pump Fluid has to be changed every 30,000 miles or two
    years. (Manual is incorrect).

    I notice not one of the replies could bother to include the instructions.

    Even though the person originally asking found his answer elsewhere,
    I'll provide the answer for anyone else looking at the thread to get
    it.

    With the ignition turned OFF, press and hold the trip odometer reset
    button.
    Still holding the reset button, turn the ignition key to the run position.
    Continue holding the reset button until the indicator light goes
    out, then flashes once.
    Your oil minder has now been reset.

    The group is supposed to be about help, which should include answers,
    not just references to other information warehouses.

  20. Like the owner's manual.

    The group *is* about help. What it is NOT about is spoon-feeding the
    owner's manual to people who are just too lazy to get out of their
    chairs and get their manuals and look up the information.

    You don't see people in, say, an A/V group asking which button to use
    for changing the channel...
