It *does*, thank you (I'll treat you to it below).

If you have the patience, what does the exclamation mark in square 
brackets do? I had mucked around with creating links but had not quite 
got it to work properly. That seems to be the missing factor). I realise 
this is OT - perhaps reply privately (with my thanks).

As for using Markdwon in my signature - previous reply, thanks - , I had 
found that the raw text kept getting through and had not troubleshooted, 
so have been using plain text since emailers parse it all anyway.

Perhaps I can persuade other people to do this - it solves the 
attachment-when-searching issue but also they are struggling to make it 
clickable apparently (hah! the fools! so little do they know of how 
these things work in Outlook-land)
