Most email clients will automatically delete a correctly formatted
signature block. Unfortunately, this list's signature is not
correctly formatted - it should have two hyphens, followed by a
space, followed by carriage return, followed by the signature
contents - so users have to manually delete it.
Compare my personal signature below with the list signature above
to see the formatting problem - perhaps someone with admin powers on
the list setup could correct this?
