Is there any way to eliminate those 2 dashes above inserted
signatures from displaying?

OE does not apply the sig delimiter by default. If they are there,
and they are incorrect, it's because you or some 3rd party software
you're using put them there.

It's possible they aren't working right because the sig delimiter is
actually two dashes followed by a space. If the space isn't there,
it won't be properly detected. Either fix it or remove them
completely. HTH

Teach me. A third party app like OE-QuoteFix can remove the dashes.
You say a third party program causes them. I'm always willing to
learn. How do you set OE to /not/ add the dashes by default?

GAK! Uh oh, I have some words to eat! I didn't notice that the OP said "above inserted signatures"! Somehow, I thought they were appearing without using a signature; with a sig is something I'd never considered because I don't see the need since a sig is supposed to be preceded by two dashes, a space and cr/lf.

OE does indeed apply those when you ask it to display a sig. They're just part of the definition of a sig. Sorry bout that!! My apologies to you Bruce, and to the entire board; I am guilty of the same type misinformation I detest.

Not to worry. From time to time, I press Send and /then/ read the post. <w>
