This _IS_ a mailing list, not a Usenet group. The fact that it is
accessible from Usenet, is secondary to the purpose for which the
mailing list was established. While a number of users prefer to access
postings to this mailing list via Usenet, they have to accept the
deficiencies in the translation process.

Can you please amend your sig because it violates the RFC.

Which RFC are you referring to?

RFC 3676 S4.3. - Usenet Signature Convention
<Q> There is a long-standing convention in Usenet news which also
    commonly appears in Internet mail </Q>

RFC 1855 S2.1.1 For mail
<Q> If you include a signature keep it short.
    Rule of thumb is no longer than 4 lines. </Q>

I see nothing in either RFC stating any compulsory or mandatory
requirement that my advisory signature violates

A sig should consist of 2 dashes followed by a space with four lines
of text below. Your sig does NOT get stripped by newsreaders in
replies as the delimiter is wrong.

I am fully aware of this requirement and it shows up correctly when I
read my posts in Thunderbird mail. However, in light of your comments I
checked the message source of one of my posts and you appear to be
correct. The Thunderbird extension that I use "Signature Switch 1.5.4"

appears to conflict with Enigmail's gpg signatures, so I will try to find a way correcting that for future signatures. Thank you for drawing this issue to my attention.

I have subsequently advised that this is a bug in the Mozilla code:

Maybe some reading this via Usenet can advise if the signature at the end of this post shows correctly and gets stripped in news reader replies. Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and beat you every time.
