Ever since updating to the newest version an asterisk appears in my signature. There is no asterisk when i send an email but when someone replies it shows up before my name and after the last letter on the last of three lines. I do not want that asterisk. How can I get rid of it?

Thanks.

The answer to that would depend entirely on how your signature is created and if it used HTML and if it specifies a character set.

The signature is simply as follows (and has always been this since before the upgrade)

My Name My phone number My web address

When I send an email it looks correct. When someone replies to that email it looks like this

  • My Name

My phone number My web address*

The asterick is new. I don't want it there. What can I do about that?

Thanks.

Interesting...when I posted the above it changed it to putting a bullet in front of my name. I wrote it with an asterick and just by posting my reply it got changed.
