If everyone followed standards and long established conventions then life would be a breeze. If the signature (ie your footer) is separated from the body by '-- ' (note the space) then standards/conventions compliant clients will automatically strip the signature when needed. The PHP list does correctly use '-- ' when it appends its signature. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't (probably because it doesn't *want* its signatures stripped so that it becomes advertising for them). > So in this case we want to delete each one of those > lines and the > in front of them.
