This, however, can easily be put into the signature file instead if it is wanted, or replaced with something else. Right now, if one does not want "--" to be prepended to the signature, they have to manually delete it on every message. Rather cumbersome. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a signature file. 2. Append message with signature. Actual Results: "--" appears before signature. eg: -- __________ Colin Snover Expected Results: NOT prepended "--". eg: __________ Colin Snover Perhaps have a UI enable/disable if this "feature" is not wanted to be removed.

"Who says?" The standards :) See http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-usefor-article-09.txt In particular, within section 4.3.2: A "personal signature" is a short closing text automatically added to the end of articles by posting agents, identifying the poster and giving his network addresses, etc. Whenever a poster or posting agent appends such a signature to an article, it MUST be preceded with a delimiter line containing (only) two hyphens (US-ASCII 45) followed by one SP (US-ASCII 32). The signature is considered to extend from the last occurrence of that delimiter up to the end of the article (or up to the end of the part in the case of a multipart MIME body). Followup agents, when incorporating quoted text from a precursor, Ought Not to include the signature in the quotation. Posting agents Ought to discourage (at least with a warning) signatures of excessive length (4 lines is a commonly accepted limit).
That is a draft. Not finalized.

The usefor draft is very near to the final thing, and the parts still up for discussion are clearly marked. Most of it is a done deal. The signature delimiter itself has been around since before the usefor drafts. The status of the draft spec aside, this issue has already been decided. Marking as a duplicate of bug 56042 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 56042 ***
