I'll certainly switch to proportional to see a table or similar, but I won't for some art in a signature, and can't imagine many others will either. > > 3.

You need to stop adding it to mailing lists, or make it make sense when posting to mailing lists, it makes your company appear silly to me, and it would suggest that the various mailing list archives shouldn't include your posts as that is against the disclaimer - is this what you really want? > > I say this not to start a debate but at least for me the fact that I've had > > no important debate, question is how to solve it (for me would be the same > as for everyone else) Use a proper Signature Seperator, this will allow intelligent software to hide your signature, and just as importantly not quote it in every reply. Then in mailing lists etc. keep it short, is it necessary at all - what does it add to the discussion? is it just a distraction that makes your content less accessible? Jim.
