Description Braden 2001-07-26 06:01:37 UTC 
Some other mailers can trim the sigdash and everything under it when
quoting message text for a reply. It would be nice to have this feature in
Evolution.
Comment 1 Jason Leach 2001-08-15 21:27:49 UTC 
Yes I wanted this feature too, just added it to CVS, enjoy.
Comment 2 Braden 2001-10-02 07:03:02 UTC 
Not happening in 0.14.
Comment 3 Jeffrey Stedfast 2001-10-28 10:56:10 UTC 
iirc, we tried this but people compalined because some mail clients
were broken and put "--\n" instead of "-- \n" and if we tried to match
the "--\n" we ended up stripping too much in some cases...

anyways, such is the pain that users never understand when they ask
for what they presume is an easy feature...

hah, no such thing.
Comment 4 Braden 2001-10-30 01:54:47 UTC 
Please consider retargeting this. Your comments demonstrate a
misunderstanding of the problem.

"--\n" is *not* the sigdash sequence. It is irrelevant that some other
mail clients might erroneously think otherwise. It was a bug ever to
treat this as the sigdash sequence, and this RFE does not request that
you reinstate that errant behavior.

"-- \n" is the sigdash sequence, and it should be appropriate and safe
to treat it as such for the purposes of trimming a signature. This is
easy to implement, and I doubt you'd get too many complaints if
you just did it correctly.
Comment 5 Dan Winship 2001-10-30 02:18:10 UTC 
Yes, this is scheduled to happen at some point.
