Hiya everyone

How big should sigs be in newsgroups? I'm just asking 'cos mine doesn't
always show up so is it Windows Mail or something within the group?
[snip]

The problem seems to be that you have a sig that is HTML. Which is
generally a Bad Thing to have in usenet, which is a plain text medium.

Not merely generally a Bad Thing, but explicitly out of order here:

Formatting
All posts must be made in plain text. Other types of formatting,
including HTML and "business cards" or vcards, are forbidden. Please
note that this does not prevent the inclusion of URL and email
addresses.
