You can delete it, but the software adds it to your mail automatically. You need to choose to remove it, every time.

Wow, that sucks, so everyone is forced to advertise for free and we're all forced to pay the cost of transporting those extra bits around the internet.

I doubt that affects the internet as much as the old school friends who keep sending me powerpoint presentations with pictures of puppies and, ironically, spam about how an email with a certain header will contain a virus ( ironic because the claims those emails make are usually technically impossible, but I am certain you can embed a virus into an office document )

No probably not but then again I don't expect the average Joe internet user to be as savvy as a giant mega corporation who can apparently do no wrong in many eyes.
I swear it could be revealed that IPhones are made in part from Puppies ground up alive and the reaction from the Apple hipsters would be some kind of attack on whoever revealed it and pages of justifications for why it's perfectly ok.

Yeah, the Apple fanboys get a bit annoying, but so do the MS fanboys. In both cases, that doesn't prove their products have no value, just not as much as some people seem to think.

So back to John's rant - An Apple software is automatically appending advertisement to a user email and the solution is for the user to manually remove it?
I know hotmail and other free email providers does it but its part of your agreement for a free service... I dont expect to get the same behavior from a paid service or device in this case.

I get the doofuses that send me the ones that insist that they must be sent to "everyone you know" or the earth will stop spinning, or puppies will die, or some terrible political nightmare will occur. 
That phrase right there ("Send this to everyone that you know") is a code to me to throw said e-mail in the trash.

This little hack[^] shows you, how to get rid of it permanently (SFW).

Every checked "Mail and Contacts settings" and signature.  It is very easy to change the default sig.

Don't burst his "I know everything. Blame everybody/anybody else first" bubble so soon.

It's a freaking e-mail sig that can be changed in the mail settings - Just like every other mail client on the planet. Duh!

Some people just can't help but push something on you with each message they send.

Some forum guidelines perhaps?

Ha ha ha ha ha. I love irony.

So do I, let me know when you see some.

I believe all the mobile devices do this, my HD2 certainly did it. However you can destroy it as it is simply a signature on the email.

Some of the later Windows Mobile devices do that as well, and I'm guessing WP7 also. It's possible to switch it off somewhere though.

Just got the box set[^] in the mail last weekend. Sadly, it does not include the 1985 UK movie, but the first episode is a somewhat sanitized remake with some recasting. So far, I've watched the first season and the first episode of season two. Great series. It almost doesn't need the Max Headroom character. He's underused in most S1 episodes and nearly absent from the S2 opener. The writing and effects remind me of Dr. Who and Brazil in a number of ways.
If anyone knows where I can get a legal DVD of the original movie, I'd love to find it. VHS copies are available from Amazon, but I don't have the equipment anymore for transferring VHS to DVD.

I dont know about the series, but the guy on the dvd looks like "Duke Nukem".

Maxx Headroom, nostalgia at it's best.
