He means that he has used either the IBM "RECEIVE EXEC",
or the 'LOG/LOGD' commands in the MAIL/MAILBOOK package
to store a piece of E-mail into a 'NOTEBOOK' file.
 
Then, when he uses the MAILBOOK package to split the NOTEBOOK
into individual notes, the package splits the file, by looking
for a line which consists of a line with the following properties:
 - the line contains an "=" in column one,
 - the line consists solely of 72 repetitions of the "=" character.
 
If you put a line meeting those conditions into your "signature" file,
the MAILBOOK package may get confused.
