Well, yes, except that I sometimes also use forward instead of reply, so that signatures are not stripped from the message. And sometimes I don't want attribution/quote marks. But often that does work... > >- sigs not included in quoting > > >Occasionally, you run across a sig that's just damn cool, or otherwise > >warrants comment.

Mutt does not cut off .signatures. Hmmm... well, whenever I reply to a message, everything after sigdashes is stripped from the message. It's possible that my editor is doing this (I use post-mode for emacs), and I'll look into that. Whatever it is, it's pretty inconvenient at times, for example when signing up for some lists. The replies sent by some lists include the authorization info AFTER sigdashes (including the mutt mailing lists) which then get stripped out upon replying to the mail. Failing to notice the sigdashes means I need to quit out of composing the message, and either use forward or cut and paste the auth command. Yep, I'm lazy! ;-) > >I hate HTML mail as much as anyone.

The old version is well documented, but the new one has none, as far as I could tell.
