SY> I'm against this change. A signature separator should be: SY> dash dash space newline SY> and nothing else. Well, I sort of expected this kind of discussion... I guess I should have known better to post explanations in advance. Please consider that some people do not use "signatures" as per the usual usenettish understanding goes, but still want to append a piece of text at the end of each E-mail, text that depends on posting styles, etc. -- for all practical reasons: a signature. Please consider: a) how I have signed this E-mail, b) what happens if I want to append something of this kind: best regards, --Jan None of these things is possible with the current Gnus. Since I am tired of manually deleting the extra "-- \n" that Gnus chooses to insert before my "signatures" (in a loose sense of the word), I propose this change. Religious issues aside, I believe there are legitimate reasons to change the signature separator, especially if you accept that the definition of a "signature" isn't very clear cut at all. --J. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBAbTEcLth4/7/QhDoRAkbGAJ0dHDl+7DEdFS53BwL8/PghrsLCuwCgzmkq fFk2WmnfQvfTNMWfgO6mzZE= =Yl/z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
