signature.asc files

[Betti Ann & Preston Smith]

I had no intent to turn this into a heavy discussion but the 70 plus 
signature.asc files I have to remove from my system daily are becoming a 
pain.  Why oh why do we need sigs on a mailing list??

In any case, my options are few
- accept the fact that I must delete these things from my 'Attachment' 
folder daily (if I opt for deletion of attachments when I delete the 
accompanying messages I will inadvertantly delete attachments which I wish 
to keep)
- unsubscribe from this list which I have been reading to familiarize 
myself with Linux before moving from Windows
- find a Windows client that meets the so called needs of the RFC which is 
not a mandated standard at the best of times and then train my wife on the 
new client before having to retrain her when I eventually move to Linux - 
do the gurus, particularly those who say I must scrap Eudora, know of a 
suitable freeware client which is supported by Windows 98?

Simple things like this should not be so complex to resolve
