Chuck, glad that you replied :)

Just see this mail or yours I am reacting on just now. The mailing list
signature is automatically erased by the mail program as it has a valid
signature divider of the form "-- " (hyphen hyphen whitespace). With the
list signature I am speaking about

In contrast your own signature (But she goes not abroad ...) is started
/ divided with a "--" which is no correct signature divider following
the RFC. So it is not properly recognized by mailers as a signature and
won't.

I hope I could explain what I mean good enough. If not please feel free
to ask again.

>From the mail header I am seeing that you are using:

User-Agent:  Internet Messaging Program (IMP) 4.0-cvs

So the problem with the incorrect signature divider ( "--" instead of
correct "-- "; the whitespace following the 2 hyphens is important!)
exists in IMP 4.0 CVS too, not only in stable IMP 3.
