I agree, Jim.  It's usually called a signature file.  In Groupwise, the lousy mail
system we use at IPC, I have my preferences set so that when I hit the send button, I
have to option to or not to attach the signature file.

You've probably done this already, but just in case--look through all your mail
applications preferences.  There may be an option to have "verbose headers" which, if
checked, show ALL the to/from/cc fields.  If you are using one of the
freeware/shareware browsers like Eudora Light or Pegasus, it's hard to get support,
but both of the ones I just mentioned have pretty nice manuals or help files that can
be downloaded.

If you're running on a Unix based, company propriatary e-mail system from a dumb
terminal or using a terminal emulator on a PC, you're at the mercy of your system
administrators.  I've had both good and bad experience in those situations.  I'm
always frustrated by the ones that tell me what I need instead of asking.  While it's
borderline to topic acceptability, if we get a slow period some day you might want to
repost your msg with more info about exactly what mail system you are using and what
specific mail reader you have on your PC/terminal.  Someone out there may have found
a work-a-round on seeing your whole header.

If it's an occasional curiosity on who posted, another option might be to hit your
reply button and see if all the addresses show up in the TO: field then.  You should
be able to cancel/delete the reply screen after you see the info.  Good luck.  Jack

I have a problem, probably something to do with my server, whereas I don't know
who is sending out a Technet post.  The "from" information in the memo header
only says "Technet", and, unless the writer ends the post with his or her name
and company, I can't tell who it is!  Does anyone else have this problem or is
it just me?
