399568 - signature insert prevents copying message text in a reply

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58406

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Boying Lu]

In a mail message, Thunderbird prefixes the signature with the line "-- " (two dashes and a space). I can't find an option to prevent it from inserting this line. When you reply to a message, Thunderbird apparently takes the "-- " as a marker to stop copying the original message. 

To re-produce the bug:
1. start thunderbird
2. set signature
3. compose a new message as this (there is a space after dashes):
Hello
-- 
Hello 2   
4. send it to yourself
5. reply this e-mail to yourself

expected result:
"Hello 2" should be part of message

actual result:
"Hello 2" is missing

Nope, there isn't any option.
