That is fair enough. I have just made that revision.

I can ignore most tags since they are usually formatted to follow the
senders name and separated by a line or two. It is tough on me to avoid the vitriol since it appears to be part of the body of the message. I think tag
lines should be after the senders name and with a blank line between the
senders name and the tagline.  It is considered good netiquette.  I am all
for freedom of expression, but I would rather read his messages and ignore
the politics.

Thanks!
Valerie

Okay, Roger, December was a very pertinent observation on people's
propensity for playing God, or thinking they know what God wants them to
do.
Now we get the quote from Mr. Marx about religion being the opiate of the
people. I, for one, need a break. Regards, Kim.

That definitely calls for an exception to the strip the headers policy.
