What surprises me on this whole lack of fix in Dadioh's attempts,
it's that there has been no advice coming in from any of the
OE-quotefix users. (??)

AFAICT, no one has ever quite figured out how to make OEQF do what it
claims to do, at least not reliably. Specific instructions which seem
to work for some people do not work for others, even though they are
using the same versions of OE and OEQF under the same OS.
 
If I want to see if ther is a good sig format in the post I'm reading,
I just point my mouse's little i-beam thingy next to the hyphen pair,
to see if it stops there or finds a space.

Yep, my obsession made me doubt my ability to correctly detect spaces, so I
double-check by hitting reply and when the paranoia kicks in, I triple-
check on Google.
The reader I use (Agent), it does the hack-for-OE thing: It will drop
a sig from followup even when the space is missing. But you bring up a
good point on the Google reading, and on all the many readers which
don't code in a special OE wheelchair ramp.

See my reply to Jo: my apologies to the Agent-community. I hate it when a
newsreader does something useful that mine doesn't.

Well, I guess like I said a few weeks ago: it's no big deal. I'm not
complaining, it's an obsession I can live with. I guess it doesn't bother
anybody. The only recollection I have of complaints about broken sigs are
those by Andy M. against the posts of John C. (speaking of obsessions).
I have a faint recollection of struggling with Quoutefix about a year ago,
and getting it to work in the end. Nobody complained, I noticed it myself
and got my first obsession.

Thanks for the reply. I guess things don't sound too promising for the
Rod & dadiOH fix-sig project...
 
Rod: bad memory

If you want Xnews to behave that way, put this in the [Misc] section of
your xnews.ini:

SigDashRegex=^--\s?$

That'll take care of OE-broken sigs for you, at the expense of giving
some false positives on things that were not meant to be sig
delimiters.

OK, you got me big-time with this one, it worked, false positive included
:)
Thank you very much for this useful info, I'm going to keep this settings
and try to live with the false positives, if I encounter any. Obsession
gone.
BTW, good solution, the power of Microsoft is bigger than I thought: 'fix'
all the other newsreaders :)

The whole Netscape thing was a ruse de guerre. Rushing the left flank,
a masterful feint, distracting everyone, while going straight in for
the unprotected prize: seizure of then entire land of mail and news. <g>

Doesn't work. Sound recorder requires an input device like a
microphone.
My app makes sounds directly thru the computer's built in
speaker. The sound is independent of my SB sound card.

Put a microphone near the speaker, put the recording program on record
and play the sound.

You might have noticed in a few replies that Q gave me a 'fix' for my
Xnews, so my obsession with your sig-issue has been terminated.
I want to thank you for your efforts to solve your, er....our, er....I
guess my problem. As nobody else is obsessed by this issue and I nver
noticed any complaints, I guees we can go on with our lives and drop the
issue.
Unless, you have a problem with your sig being 'special'. In that case I
would be more than happy to discuss this further. But I can't remember you
having a problem with it, just your reactions to my comments. So I guess we
can end this for the moment ?
Thank you again.

Oh god. You will probably move onto something else now...
