Disklavier

Thanks for the info.  Now I know.  I just want to get the most bang for 
my buck.

The problem with my digital ID is that it only works when someone is 
receiving email directly from me.  Yahoo groups forwards it as an 
attachment, but the digital ID won't be recognized because Yahoo groups 
doesn't match the sender's identity and Yahoo groups modifies the 
emails after you send them.  Anyway, sorry.  I'll try to remember to 
turn off my digital signature when sending to the group.
