Mailing list woes

Actually, what I find most annoying about Blackberries and IPhones is not the 
posting issue, but rather the stupid advertising taglines that have no "--" 
above them that cannot be removed.

Sent from my IPhone
Sent from my T-Mobile Blackberry.

Who gives a flying swine flu? Isn't that what the UserAgent: and X-Mailer: 
headers are for?

Is there no way to let these companies know that this is nothing but a major 
annoyance and does *not* make me want to go out and buy one of their devices? In 
fact, it makes me *not* want to buy them. Back in the day, I used to avoid all 
webmail services because they all did that. Most of them still do, but at least 
they know how to separate their taglines from the message. Not that that makes 
it any better, but at least they do separate their taglines, unlike these mobile 
devices.
