Apparently this 30-year-old convention is news to you, but a Debian Emacs bug report is probably not the right forum for advocacy. If you can convince the upstream Emacs maintainers to change this (I'm sure they would consider a well-written and well-argued patch), you stand a better chance for seeing this fixed. I'm sorry, but I don't imagine Debian would be willing to take a patch for this sort of esoteric preference. For what it's worth, I think I used to be able to work around this at least in Gnus. The hint in the documentation for mail-signature points to writing a simple function to insert your .signature file without the sigdashes. If you would like a copy for your personal needs, I'll see if I can find it. /* era */ -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
