Dear Sir: Your signature is over-sized. Anything over 4 lines is not permitted
on the Usenet.

It is also obviously complete horseshit. You would not be asking these questions
if your signature was truthful.

Seems likely to me that you are wanting this advice for the purposes of
spamming.

Mend your ways.

You have been reported to abuse.

PLEASE DO NOT HELP THIS PERSON

To me it was a legitimate (and ON-TOPIC) question, unlike your remark.

Now kindly cluck off, before I extract your gibblets, and shove a large
seasoned onion between the lips you never kiss with.

Followups should be directed to an _appropriate_ newsgroup, not
to the newsgroup that one just happens to be reading.

Actually, to "comp.mail.misc" regulars, he isn't anonymous at all.
There's only one person here (in that newsgroup) who:

* has strange idiosyncratic ideas about what signatures are and
aren't "allowed";
* accuses practically everyone who posts of "spamming";
* has the sort of warped thinking whereby if someone doesn't know
how to drive an MUA then they obviously cannot possibly be a
doctor in Methodology & Applied Statistics in Psychology & the
Health Sciences;
* posts his articles with "*.news.pas.earthlink.net." message IDs;
* takes steps to hide the name of his mailbox, whilst asserting
that only the malicious do that;
and
* claims to report people to abuse mailboxes and the FBI (including
reporting the "W32/Swen.A@mm" Microsoft Worm to the FBI, claiming
that it was in fact the action of someone called "Sam").

To me, this sounds like a good sense of humor

To the original poster - there always is AT&T metamail, too.
