208668 - Mail after signature gets snipped away

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 178011

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Bj0rN]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

It's good that Mozilla cuts away the signature. But sometimes it doesn't really
work, like in my case on the picture.

I want to add comments in the email that my friend forwarded, but I can't since
Mozilla snipped it away. Quite annoying! :)

What if someone writes -- in the middle of an email? I guess that Mozilla looks
for this part and snip the rest away.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Look at the picture, first part of it is my friend who forwards an email, second
part is when I reply to it.


Expected Results:  
I think it would be better to not snip away text after the signature, or perhaps
add an option in the preferences about how Mozilla should behave in this situation.

I can find no evidence that the sigs are cut off in reply. So, WFM.

Here's two new pics that show entire messages when viewing and replying. Here
you can see how Mozilla snips everything after the sig part (--\nMarkster)

This is how it looks like when reading the email:

And this is what happens when I hit the reply button:

despite the "really really long signatures" description, this is a dupe, and
ultimately depends on bug 54570
