Subject: Mailling-list footer

Hello list,

I wonder if we could improve the mailing list footer for scap-security-guide

It can be configured in mailing list administration in section “Non-digest 
options”.

Currently the footer looks like:
"_______________________________________________
scap-security-guide mailing list
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide”<https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide%E2%80%9D>

What about something more useful?

“--
[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
 mailing list
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/scap-security-guide
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/wiki/Collateral-and-References”<https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/wiki/Collateral-and-References%E2%80%9D>

The most important change is replacing
“_______________________________________________”
with
“-- "

“-- “ is usually interpreted by e-mail clients as “beginning of signature” and 
automatically stripped from replies.  Take note that it is dash dash space.

It would help prevent mailing list signatures from accumulating in replies like 
this:

> [blah blah]

Good idea

Other links in proposed signature were picked from a recent mailing list topic.

Thanks,

PS: This is transcribed almost verbatim from another mailing list I am on where 
I thought it sounded like a good idea.

my email client doesn't recognize the '--' as a signature, even though it's the 
same characters as thunderbird uses (ref mine below). others seeing this as 
well?

Make sure it is dash dash space, not just dash dash.
