This is a long lasting convention in mail and news on the Internet (just do some search for "standard sig delimiter") and it is by no means a new behavior - it is like this at least since I'm using the Mozilla Suite (somewhere around the 0.9.2 version). As signatures bring no value to the matter of a certain topic they are automatically stripped from the quoted text on reply, when marked using the standard delimiter. If the signature is not marked using the standard delimiter, it is responsibility of the replier to strip that part (and other irrelevant to the reply parts) from the quotes. To indicate the author of the original text there are "attribution lines" at the beginning of quotes. If for whatever reason you want to quote a signature - just do it manually by copy-pasting it from the original message. -- Stanimir _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
