subject: Tearline?

TVJ> The tear line generated by Conference Mail looks like:

TVJ>                                     --- 

TVJ> Now I'm wondering what "a small product-specific banner" is? 

Usually it's simply the name and version number of the program
that the user used to initiate the message.

TVJ> I've seen "small" banners that is more than 60 characters.

There is no restriction to the length of a tearline.  Technically
you could generate a tearline with a banner that fills an entire
screen or more.  'Small' is relative. :-)

TVJ> I've also seen tearlines that is PGP-fingerprints, or names 
TVJ> at persons. Is this legal?

Define 'legal'.
