Hello again,

The ideal signature would include at least three elements: name, geographic
location, and email address.

A few reasons for providing this information:

1. Some mailers strip the headers off the messages so that the
person receiving it can see only addresses given in the message text.

2. When tweeters was forwarded by me your name and email address
were already included in the forwarded message.

3. Tweeter's distribution runs from Victoria and Vancouver B.C.
to Walla Walla and Oregon, east to Pullman and beyond. Providing a
geographic location makes your postings even more interesting.

These signature "blocks" can be kept in a file and imported or read into
the message at the end.

Here are some good examples already used by subscribers:

Richard J. Cannings cannings at bcu.ubc.ca
Cowan Vertebrate Museum vertmus at bcu.ubc.ca
Department of Zoology, (604)822-4665
University of British Columbia (604)822-2416 (FAX)
Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4 CANADA

Thanks for your help in making this list interesting,
