Not including the signatures in replies

Not including the signatures in replies

[Akim Demaille]

Hi!

First of all, I'd like to stress that I really enjoy Gnus.  Thanks for
it, it's really precious :)

I would like to express a wish: a mean to avoid that signatures aren't
inserted in a reply (that of the person I'm replying to).  I always
have to remove them, and since gnus knows where they are, I think it
would be very helpy that it strips it off before letting me compose my
answer.

I'm sorry I don't know elisp, so I can't go further than just being a
never-satisfied-f*g-user ;)

Thanks!

        Akim

Hi,

put

(setq message-cite-function 'message-cite-original-without-signature)

into your .gnus.el file

Norbert.

Don't be sorry.  If you found it yourself, you would not have asked the
question, and then, the reply would not have let me discover that nice
capability.  Thanks to askers and repliers! :-)

Actually it's in Supercite I'd like to have a
sc-message-cite-original-without-signature.

        Given the stuff that sc-cite-original requires, I think that
`message-cite-original-without-signature' should also run the
`mail-citation-hook' hooks. Also, I'm wondering if it's really a good thing to
have sc-cite-original as a custom choice for `message-cite-function'. It sort
of breaks the semantics it is supposed to have. First, you cite the original
in a somewhat raw manner (like removing the signature) which I consider a job
for gnus, and then, you postprocess the citation to perform more clever stuff.

I think both Lars and Barry have said that this distinction should not
be made, i.e. removing the signature is a job for SC.

  (let ((start (point))

    (goto-char end)
