(...) Now this is the stuff I'd like to see go away. I've never seen a post that is enhanced by 87 lines of text as a sig file. Pictures I can filter out if need be. Text is something I can't. -Dave (22 years ago, 28-May-03, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

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