also, if everyone put the type of van they have. and where they live in some sort of standardized sig template, we could do on-the-fly statistics. when whomever is doing the stats grabs the email, a little perl script could parse the email and grab the relevant information, and insert it into a kd-tree with the following elements: year, model, city, state; where in this example, year=84, model=GL, city=Baltimore, state=MD.

/****************************** * Baltimore, MD * 1984 Vanagon GL ******************************/

Just a thought~ (and this case would have to be taken care of... two valid (not in a quoted text block) signatures in one e-mail ~ maybe grab the last valid found)
