Using the two-dash separator when top posting runs the risk of many
clients (Thunderbird as a notable example) not displaying any of the
message below the separator.
The three-dash separator solution was the result of a lengthy discussion
several versions ago when the top-post option was implemented. It has
worked perfectly for sometime now, and I and my organization (which is
full of top-posters) would complain loudly if it were eliminated.

Arne,
uh, I must admit that this standard (?) with three sig dashes (without
WSP)
for top-posted replies is totally new to me, thanks for the input. Is
this
documented somewhere (RFCs)...? And what's the sense of and reason for
it?
My default setting is indeed top-posting, because most people I'm in
touch
with, are unfortunately not familiar with inline quoting. The problem
is,
that, depending on the person I'm replying to, I do not always use
top-posting. In those cases I'm moving the the sig to the bottom of the
mail.
This would lead to a sig with three dashes at the bottom, so I would
have to
remove one of them manually, whenever I'm moving a sig to the bottom.
Not
very convenient...
So I think it's better to include a two-dashes-separator in the sig (as
I
had it before) and always use this one, no matter if top or bottom.
Fortunately, RC doesn't touch this, when being part of the sig.
But as we speak, I'd like to emphasize again my proposal to have an
option
in the addressbook, in which way I want to reply to this particular
person.
Cheers,

The three dashes is correct for top-posted replies, and should only
appear
when sig is inserted above the quote. If the sig is below the quote,
0.9.x
and earlier then inserts two dashes with WSP.
I don't currently have a git version running, so I can't compare the
behavior to the production versions.
This reply is top-posted from 0.9.1.

I used to include the sig dashes "-- " in all o my my signatures, but
as I
realized today, Roundcube will add them anyway (if not existent). So
I
removed them in all signatures of all of my identities.
This leads to the following behaviour:
1) Composing a new message: All OK.
2) Replying to to a message: Roundcube creates THREE sig dashes
instead of
two ("---"), and without the mandatory WSP at the end of the string.
Strange, uh...?
