Signatures are included in quotes when replying

[thstyl2000]

Expected behavior

The “dash dash space” delimiter should be recognised in a message and the signature below it should be cut off when inserting a quote of the original message into the composition window for a reply.

Actual behavior

Signatures appear in quoted messages.

Does this any other mail client?

[thstyl2000]

Yup, Thunderbird definitely....quoting from Wikipedia:

Most Usenet clients (including, for example, Mozilla Thunderbird) will recognize the “dash dash space” delimiter in a news article and will cut off the signature below it when inserting a quote of the original message into the composition window for a reply. Although the Usenet standards strictly apply only to Usenet news articles, this same delimiter convention is widely used in email messages as well, and email clients (such as K-9 and Opera Mail) commonly use it for recognition and special handling of signatures in email.
