Dear Cyrille, @26-May-2004, 11:00 +0200 (26-May 10:00 UK time) Cyrille [C] in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Cyrille:

C>> The problem was most of the time the missing space after the two dashes.

It's a recognised convention that has migrated from usenet to email
and is used by (est.) 90% of mail client software. It isn't in an
RFC as such (at least, a 20 minute Google didn't reveal it)
C> [No sig and no delimiter...]
Hmmm - I'm just discussing this with the other mods, but I'm
absolutely certain that an attempt to put in a cut mark is better
than a disclaimer. I use reply extraction macros that are more
forgiving than the default and accept the cut mark without trailing
space. So, why not just "do the best you can" while we discuss the
rules backstage.
