Signing posts is the appropriate and polite thing to do. Would you send
a postal mail letter and rely only on the return address on the

This is covered in the FAQ. Searching the FAQ for "attachment" will
return article 4.39 (among others) which addresses this. Search the
FAQ via the FAQ Wizzard at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py .
