Hello Luuk,

Actually, I didn't mean to type 'my own signature...' (had a brain fart) but
just 'signatures'. Doh! Sorry for the confusion.

So, what in fact I meant was when replying to a list message the signature
of the person you are replying to is included above the appended cutline so
it is treated as part of the message body and is therefore included in the
reply. It's pretty standard for email clients to treat everything below the
last cutline as the signature, that's the point of it, so anything below the
'dash dash space' is not quoted when replying.

I do not use Thunderbird, but I don't see how it would behave any
differently to the email client I use (The Bat!) in this respect...but I
don't know. In my email client the signature (everything below the cutline)
is highlighted in a different colour to the message body to differentiate
it. On this list the list information is highlighted instead because of the
appended cutline. It's hardly the end of the world or anything, but...
