[pbmserv-dev] more signature problems?

[Douglas Zander <dzander@solaria.sol.net>]

Hi, there is a new signature problem from Yahoo! that uses "====" as their
signature marker.  I am wondering if someone would please add that as a
signature marker in Game::PrintAs() routine.  We already have "--" and "__"
could we please add "==" also?  
"--" is unix standard
"__" is Hotmail standard
"==" is Yahoo! standard

Could this be done or could there be any complications?  I don't think
there could be any complications.
I was wondering how many more we will need to add before these bozo 
companies start following standard conventions that were set in place
long before they were formed.  I was wondering if maybe we could use a
special phrase as the first line of our signatures and then have the
Game::PrintAs() routine look for that phrase in the either the first or
the second line of the comment variable.  Allow me to explain.  
If everyone used a special phrase like "signature now" as the first line 
in their signature, then it would not matter which dang company they used
as their free service; it would not matter what that company used as a
signature separator, the first line could fall through but Richard's server
would catch the special phrase on either the first (if no sig separator 
was used) or the second line and would count the rest as a signature and
not think that the player had left a message for their opponent and
therefore would not use the two-asterick signal.  I know, I know, sounds
silly...  :-)  :-)
