README! README! New widget: stripsig

Sorry Karen, can you explain that a little more fully. Do you mean that it
strips off the line at the end of a free ISP like hotmail or yahoo, which
invariably has a bit of a plug on the end? Or anything similarly formatted?

Cheers,

Mike, the techno-novice

If the add-on is a properly formatted .sig, yes.  Unfortunately, they're
usually not, *but* if you can persuade the hotmailer to add their own sig,
even blank, it will cheerfully strip it off, along with the trailing ad.

Obviously, the append file (As Seen Below) gets added *after* this little
operation, else it would qualify...
