Should Gnus really exclude this case?  It seems like doing too much
work, there are two cases; one where "-- " was intended as a morse
character, and it will be translated; one where "-- " was the
signature separator, in which case it is translated into 'm' so it
adds some garbage.  The signature separator is not the only sitation,
all ASCII art will be garbage.  IMHO morse decoding should morse
decode everything that even remotely looks like morse and let the user
filter out the noise.
