Generally, it won't be correct to restore "--" as "-- ", so ST> it depends on how you testers vote for it :-)) As much as I'd like PGP-signature-verified mails to contain '-- ' as signature delimiter: it wouldn't be correct if TB! would silently add the "missing" space. TB! /cannot/ know if there was a space before singing was done, so it /must not/ add one. It must display the text that was signed, which is the one without trailing space :-/ As sad as this is: what about the idea of TB! treating '--\n' as signature delimiter as well, if it's in the last 'X' lines of mail body (e.g. X==10; maybe configurable in the same fashion as 'Quote name limit'?!). -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v2.01.20 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1) "If frogs had wings, they'd let down their tail." -- George Bush ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 2.01.20 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
