Thanks Christoph, I have already searched the archives and that is how I discovered
how to get rid of the signature in error messages (BTW, including <!-- %s --> will
remove the signature without breaking the rest of the page - yes it is still
viewable in the source though).

What my question is about was *not* how to change error pages, but how to change the
page returned when you visit an ftp:// style URL

I am happy to hack the source, but if there is an easier way I'd like to use that.
