Like I said before: I'd strongly vote for disabling the agent for nnimap
by default. The whole point of IMAP is that several clients access the

Have you ever considered how much text can fit in eighty columns?  Given that a
signature typically contains up to four lines of text, this space allows you to
attach a tremendous amount of valuable information to your messages.  Seize the
opportunity and don't waste your signature on bullshit that nobody cares about.
