such text should definitely be avoided on each mailing list. Don't find any excuses such that your MTA adds this, just *don't* send such mails!

I'm now in big trouble because of this. A friend of me who isn't subscribed to this list read parts of this email (he stood behind me). What now? Should I beat him down in the hope he forgets about it, should I send you his name and address so you can sue him?

To all: Please ignore all such postings. Even better, ask the list master to unsubscribe such persons!

PS: Could someone please extent http://www.boost.org/more/discussion_policy.htm to cover this?

Thanks, Jens

I have had this discussion with other mailing lists. It is a breach of my working contract to remove any added signature lines and can result in my employment being terminated. I have stated to our IT depertment that this is an issue, and they say there is nothing they can do. You are quite welcome to write to them to say how stupid it is (I already know, but I cannot do anything about it), and also to Danaher's IT support, the company that owns the company I work for and runs the IT systems.

One of the other mailing lists I'm on automatically removes such trailers if the person sending writes "--LongSig" on a line on its own --- everything after the --LongSig identifier is removed. Maybe such a facility could be added to the boost mail server.

I'm (and I expect many others) would be happy to do that.
