There are several things going on in your email that make me uneasy.

But, the main thing is that where the link to your site has been entered, you have this:

moz-do-not-send="false"

and if you changed this "false" to "true", it should no longer include the contents of the link. (This is in the link attached to the image.)

Now, you have this: 

<div class="moz-signature">
         <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
           charset=iso-8859-15">
         <br>
         <div class="moz-signature"><br>
           <div class="moz-signature"><br>
             <div class="moz-signature">
               <div class="moz-signature">
                 <div class="moz-signature"> <br>
                   <div class="moz-signature">
                     <div class="moz-signature">
                       <div class="moz-signature">
                         <div class="moz-signature"><br>
                         …
                          </div>
                       </div>
                     </div>
                   </div>
                 </div>
               </div>
             </div>
           </div>
         </div>
       </div>
     </div>
   </div>

I don't know how that has happened; possibly successive re-editings of your message or the signature. Most of these <div>…</div> pairs are empty so could safely be removed without doing any harm at all.

You have used Word to generate some or all of your signature. There are almost 400 lines of stuff like this: 

<w:WordDocument>
 <w:View>Normal</w:View>
 <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom>
 <w:TrackMoves/>
 <w:TrackFormatting/>
 <w:PunctuationKerning/>
 <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/>
 <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>
 <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent>
<w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>
 <w:DoNotPromoteQF/>
 <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther>
 <w:LidThemeAsian>JA</w:LidThemeAsian>
 <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript>
 <w:Compatibility>
  <w:BreakWrappedTables/>
  <w:SnapToGridInCell/>
  <w:WrapTextWithPunct/>
  <w:UseAsianBreakRules/>
  <w:DontGrowAutofit/>
  <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/>
  <w:EnableOpenTypeKerning/>
  <w:DontFlipMirrorIndents/>
  <w:OverrideTableStyleHps/>
  <w:UseFELayout/>
  </w:Compatibility>
  …

which is pretty much worthless and redundant.

Could you send me a message so I can see what arrives?

xenos at gmx dot co dot uk

Is there anything else in the signature other than the link? Is it bare text, or a fancy link like this?
