it's about time the EU did something about this. i'm presuming they wanted to wait until the US actions were more or less finished before they jumped in. then again, knowing the EU, it's probably just taken them this long to write the proposal (and have it seconded, translated, amended, seconded, yada).

no the reason i use a manual sig is i want to change it a lot. i wasn't aware of a sig preference. i'll start using an automatic sig (and manually edit that...) and you shall never see one of mine again.
i was going to suggest earlier that microsoft should be politely requested (ie, forced) to donate any money raised from the anti-spam law suits to some good IT-related cause (and no, not cut-price ms products in schools). maybe the two ideas could be combined somehow.
