Apologies for not getting back sooner. Its a file that should have some names on it. I have opened it in word, but it doesnt recogise it. one should be marriages and the other was called 'poster'. they were sent as individual emails so its not just something that was attached automatically.

Robyne May I ask what type of information it is please. victor

Google says this about them... .SIG file Definition .SIG file A short block of text at the end of a message identifying the sender and providing additional information about them. Information A .sig file is small text file (with a .sig extension) that can be automatically attached to the end of email messages. The phrase SIG file is also used to identify blocks of text used for similar purposes through different channels, such as discussion group messages. For personal use, SIG files often include humorous sayings or signature art. These can be automatically rotated so frequent recipients do not see the same message every time. For business use, SIG files often include a mix of contact information and business promotion. This may include the sender's name, job title, company name, phone #, fax #, email address, Web site address, tag line and brief benefits of your products or services. There are netiquette issues concerning posting a sig in public forums. Some moderated forums discourage and disallow any form of self-promotional signature. As always, fully read the Terms & Conditions and get a feel for what is acceptable at a forum before posting. I guess you should be able to open it in Notepad or Wordpad or similar.

I just had a quick Google of .SIG format, but could not see anything obvious. You may want to check this yourself. Also, in Windows XP if you double click on a file with an unknown extension it will offer to look on the web for you. Also, try http://filext.(com) - remove ().

Hi, someone has very kindly sent me some info but it is in SIG format. Which programme do i need to open it up with?
