"Trailer" would be a header that was a trailing comment. The newsreader would be expected to display the trailer, if the user desires, at the end of a read article. Not necessary; the draft internet standard for multipart, multimedia internet mail already takes care of this. You put in a header field "Content-type:" which defines a part separator (see the headers of this message), and divide up the pieces with that. In this case I used "emv", but it could be anything. If you really wanted to you could make a special Content-type: which was a signature, but really that's not needed. Or you could define a signature type as a "richtext" tag. The specs can be had from the files described in the 2d part of this three-part message. --emv -- MSEN Archive Service file verification thumper.bellcore.com total 461 -rw-r--r-- 1 4099 115424 Jun 20 15:27 BodyFormats.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 4099 195185 Jun 18 20:03 BodyFormats.ps -rw-r--r-- 1 4099 87190 Jun 18 20:03 BodyFormats.ez -rw-r--r-- 1 4099 13952 Jun 18 14:27 Configuration.ez -rw-r--r-- 1 4099 18178 Jun 18 02:55 Configuration.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 4099 39301 Jun 18 02:55 Configuration.ps found richmail ok thumper.bellcore.com:/pub/nsb/ --emv-- Edward Vielmetti, MSEN Inc. moderator, comp.archives emv@msen.com
