I use `elm' for my mail client. As with many (perhaps all?) mail clients these days, an option exists in a configuration file to set up the feature you are looking for. The first time `elm' is run, a directory named '.elm' was created in my home directory, and a file named 'elmrc' was written to that directory. I used a text editor to set the various options in the file, although I believe `elm' has an option menu which could have been used to set up most or all of the selections in this file. The line in my elmrc file which produces the line you are curious about reads as follows: attribution = %s staggered into view and mumbled: As I mentioned above, a similar option is probably available in just about every mail client out there these days, so whichever client you decide to use should be able to produce a similar attribution line. I hope this info proves helpful, and have a _great_ weekend! -- Ralph. N6BNO.
