[OT] Proposal on off-topic discussions

[Clyde Hollinger]

Friends,

I've experimented with your various signatures.  By clicking on the signature I
get only a blank email window with the address in place.  If there is no way to
include the message to which I am responding, I find this way to be of very
limited usefulness.  To respond privately to an email I find it best just to go
up there and put in the correct address.  Then the text and everything is there.

Regards,
Clyde
