neat - can we make something that will filter out all the FTX in mail

I tell mutt that that's plain text (with some noise), it doesn't display
it at all.  But cool for the web interface users :)  Attack of the
animated gif sigs :)

Actually, could there be a cookie setting to turn them off (IE strip them out,
not just show raw text) in the web interface? Personally, I never could stand
signatures with images and all the other fancy, colorful junk that often gets
thrown in with posts on other forums. Lugnet was kind of a nice break from that.
Not to mention being "safe" to view at work (shame on me). Anyone can spot that
you're not doing work when you're on a site plauged with fancy colors and images

I agree, while it's an interesting feature, I'd really rather there not be any
images contained in lugnet posts.  Is it really that hard to deep-link to a
brickshelf image instead?  It quite frankly draws your attention away from the
text, and is an eyesore to me.  I'd be satisfied, though with a conversion of
inline images into links for those who don't wish for that feature to be
represented on their screen if there are lots of people who think this is a good
idea.

As for people worrying about large or animated sig banners... The community has (...) (21 years ago, 28-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
