Per the convention described in Section 4.3 of RFC 3676, everything
below the delimiter is considered part of the signature.  Newsgroup
applications are supposed to strip away the signature from a quoted
prior message when composing a reply to a newsgroup message.

For some strange and ancient reason, Thunderbird (and thus SeaMonkey's
Mail-News component) also applied this convention to E-mail messages.
As of TBird 5.0, that should be an option in TBird.  I don't know if
that option has yet been picked up for SeaMonkey.

On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages
posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent
because of spam from that source.
