I've just changed from using Outlook Express as my mail app, to thunderbird.

Ive noticed that some signatures have hyper-links in them, but the
message seems to be plain text.

Does any one know how to set this up?

Ive added google to my sig, just to see if it works!

It's the remote news client that determines whether or not to display
it as a link - not what 'you' put in the .sig

LOL Will I see that quotefix didn't actually stop the evil
that is OE from hashing the message. What really bugs me
is the way it sneeks up and ruins a nicely formatted message.

I've yet to find anything I actually prefer to Agent. I've tried various
other things over the years, but not found them better. some are equally
good, but that doesn't merit a change.

If you want free, the thunderbird is not bad at all, for email and news.

I quite like Thunderbird although the different page setup takes a bit of
getting used to I'd use it more if could persuade it to assemble multipart
postings.
