Description Yves-Alexis Perez 2009-08-12 12:25:27 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Hey,

I configured a signature in evolution preferences, to have it show only: Yves-Alexis Perez

When composing a mail, the signature is preceded by -- and a blank line. Before 2.27 serie, there was only the -- part, not the blank line, which is not really aesthetic.

Would it be possible to get rid of it (I don't really see the point of having a blank line there).

Cheers,

2.

Does this happen every time?

I see this too. Ever since 2.27 series started, Evo inserts a blank line before the signature separator in every message with a signature. There's no way to remove it. Does not happen with Evo 2.26 (Fedora 11), has been happening in Rawhide ever since it unfroze after F11 and GNOME 2.27 packages went in.
Comment 2 Yves-Alexis Perez 2009-09-07 22:22:24 UTC 
This bug is still present in 2.27.92.
Comment 3 Yves-Alexis Perez 2009-09-25 22:48:42 UTC 
And in 2.28.0
Comment 4 Josselin Mouette 2009-09-25 23:08:29 UTC 
Looks like it is caused by commit c8938bd3 to fix bug#553535. I don’t understand the rationale, though.
Comment 5 Yves-Alexis Perez 2009-10-18 16:20:23 UTC 
Could that commit be fixed? It still happens in 2.28.1.
Comment 6 Yves-Alexis Perez 2009-11-08 12:01:46 UTC 
And for the record, it still happens on 2.29.1 too.
Comment 7 Yves-Alexis Perez 2009-11-16 21:06:03 UTC 
This seems fixed as of 2.29.2.
Comment 8 Yves-Alexis Perez 2009-11-28 11:14:01 UTC 
Thanks for taking care of that. Just too bad I wasn't aware because everything was happening on a later bug.

Cheers,
