I suggest that you look up the function in the help file. In this case, it
returns the content of the fourth paragraph starting at the 10th character,
there being six non-breaking space and one ordinary space after the RE:

Signature

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
