not a PHP question.

Mod_rewrite if you're using apache....but you didn't say what webserver you
were using.

That's usually trivial. Use phpinfo(), or, for many servers,
simply look at the HTTP response headers for any GET request.

A proper usenet signature delimiter is two dashes followed
by a single space(e.g. "-- ", without the quotes),
on a line by themselves.

It is Apache. However, I have done some research on this mod_rewrite and I
am completely lost, I can't find a direct resource to address what I'm
asking about. Also, it appears as if my service provider does not allow me
to configure the .htaccess file anyway.
