Besides, it sometimes happen that one might comment on the signature itself
(I met one case yesterday).  Maybe it would be useful to have some handy
key binding to cite the original message with its signature.  (Of course:
shouldn't all key bindings be handy? :-).

A thing which irritates me a bit in that area is that strange habit Majordomo
has, for administrative messages, to prepend `-- ' to the contents of its
reply, making it hidden by default here.  Not a Gnus problem, of course...
